Fasting is a method that may help protect against chronic diseases and prolong life expectancy. reducing the amount of food we consume would reduce insulin levels and the so-called “insulin-like growth factor-1” (IGF-1), and this reflects positively on health.
When we fast, hungry cells activate autophagy processes, and in the end, our bodies get rid of accumulated waste and toxins. This contributes to strengthening the immune system and improving health in general.
