Overview
Fasting is the act of abstaining from food and sometimes drink for a period of time. In a medical context, fasting is often required before certain tests, such as blood glucose or lipid tests, to ensure accurate results. Fasting helps to:
– Regulate blood sugar levels
– Improve insulin sensitivity
– Enhance autophagy and cellular cleaning
– Support weight loss and detoxification
Fasting can be done for various durations, ranging from 8-12 hours to several days or even weeks, depending on the individual’s health goals and medical supervision.
Description
Fasting is a deliberate abstinence from food and drink for a specified period, which can range from a few hours to several days or even weeks. By refraining from caloric intake, the body is given the opportunity to rest and rejuvenate, allowing it to focus on internal repair and rejuvenation. During fasting, the body’s energy sources shift from relying on glucose from food to utilizing stored fat for fuel, promoting weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity. Additionally, fasting has been shown to stimulate autophagy, a natural process in which the body breaks down and recycles damaged cells and proteins, leading to enhanced cellular renewal and overall well-being.
