Highlife musician Ofori Amponsah has attributed his youthful appearance at age 50 to regular fasting and a healthy lifestyle.
Speaking on Daybreak Hitz with Doreen Avio and Kwame Dadzie, the singer revealed that he fasts for about two to three weeks each year to help his body recover from toxins.
“Sometimes I fast for two weeks. Every year I fast. Sometimes I do it for 21 days, and then just cut back on food and everything. That’s all. And a bit of training; walking, I will go to my farm, see the chicken, everything and laugh,” he explained.
He added that fasting rejuvenates the body and contributes to longevity. “It’s very important to fast if you want to live long. Some of the food we take in are toxic, so sometimes when you break the system for a while it gets rejuvenated,” Ofori Amponsah said.
The musician also advised those who struggle with extended fasting to consider delaying their first meal of the day until midday as an alternative approach.
