Recruiting: 45 healthy people will be included in the clinical trial according to the Inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria.\n2. Fasting : Participants fast for five days, without any food, except unlimited mineral water. Participants will do some fitness regimen (such as meditation and mild physical exercise ) during fasting.\n3. Re-feeding: Gradually distribute participants with rice flour, porridge and juice in the next 3 days.\n4. Follow-up :The health checklist is similar with that during fasting on the first month.\n5. Data processing, statistics and analysis. Diet monitoring: The intake of glucose decreases, while the burning of fat increases, which can down-regulate glucose level in blood, up-regulate ketone level in urine. Thus, the fasting situation of participants can be monitored by the variation of blood glucose and urine ketone.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '65 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion criteria\n\n1. 18-65 years old, no nationality limitation, no gender limitation;\n2.
