Abstract

Although the health benefits of fasting have been reported in various reports, there are no studies on what factors contribute to the improvement in mood by wellness fasting. We used the Profile on Mood State (POMS) questionnaire to study the relationship between biological indicators and inflammatory markers in participants in the Arsoa Fasting Randomized Case-Control Intervention Study. Eighteen factors were correlated with total mood disturbance (TMD) values on the POMS, including blood pressure, glucose, protein, lipid metabolic parameters, and inflammatory markers. In particular, minerals such as Na, K, Cu, Mn, and Mo had an positive effects, and toxic minerals such as Pb and Cd had a negative effects. The fasting group showed a decrease in adverse factors and an increase in Vigor-Activity (VA) one month after fasting.
