Benefits of fasting #autophagy #fasting

Have you ever tried fasting? Fasting has played a vital role in my transformation on all levels. It has become an invaluable tool in my toolkit for clarity, performance and purification. It just so happens that it also comes with a whole host of benefits on the physical level. Here’s a quick overview of the physical benefits of fasting by the hour: 0-4 hours – Normal digestion The body is still using energy from the last meal. Insulin is elevated, and glucose from food is used for energy. 4-8 hours – Beginning of fat burning Blood sugar levels start to drop. Insulin decreases, allowing fat burning to begin. The body uses glycogen stored in the liver for energy. 8-12 hours – Depleting glycogen stores The transition from carbohydrates to fat as the primary energy source begins. Growth hormone levels increase, helping to preserve muscle and burn fat. 12-16 hours – Ketones become an energy source The body starts producing ketones from fat as fuel for the brain. Cellular function improves, and inflammation decreases. Autophagy is activated – a process where the body recycles damaged cells. 16-24 hours – Enhanced autophagy and fat burning Autophagy intensifies, eliminating toxins and damaged cells. Fat oxidation becomes the dominant energy source. Immune system cell regeneration begins. 24-36 hours – Deep cellular regeneration Autophagy continues to increase. Insulin levels drop significantly, improving insulin sensitivity. Stem cell regeneration of the immune system starts. 36-48 hours – Immune system renewal Increased production of stem cells that restore organs and tissues. Significant reduction in inflammation. Enhanced resistance to stress and oxidative damage. 48-72 hours – Maximum regeneration and rejuvenation The immune system resets and rejuvenates. The body's resistance to disease increases. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) decreases, slowing aging and reducing cancer risk. Each body responds differently, but these are the general benefits that occur during different fasting stages.
