1. What is Fasting

Fasting is a voluntary period of not consuming any food, typically lasting 12-16 hours. Fasting can be beneficial for weight loss, lowering blood sugar levels, reducing inflammation, improving mental clarity, and enhancing overall heart health.

2. What is Autophagy

Autophagy is a natural cellular process where the body breaks down and recycles damaged or unnecessary cells, viruses, and other components. This process promotes cellular repair and renewal. Autophagy is crucial for anti-aging, overall healing, eliminating cancer cells, and more.

3. Autophagy Without Fasting

Our bodies naturally upregulate autophagy every night. As evening approaches and melatonin rises while cortisol drops, autophagy increases, initiating cellular cleanup. mTOR activity decreases during this time as well. In the morning, you can consume green juice, plants, coffee, or green tea without raising mTOR levels, allowing autophagy to continue.
