fasting

Fasting is the intentional abstention from food and sometimes drink for a specific period. It allows the body to shift from digesting to repairing and regenerating cells, supporting metabolic health. Fasting can vary from hours to days and may be practiced for health, religious, or cultural reasons. During fasting, insulin levels typically decrease, which can enhance fat burning and improve blood sugar regulation. It’s important to approach fasting thoughtfully, staying hydrated and listening to your body, and consulting a healthcare professional if you have underlying health conditions.
