Fasting for Health and Immunity

Fasting is a stressor that can lead to incredible benefits for health, performance, and longevity. When done properly, fasting can induce a state of autophagy, where the body cleans up damaged cells and promotes cellular healing. Prior to fasting, it is important to prepare the body by becoming fat-adapted and incorporating diet variations. During the fasting period, different fasting protocols can be followed, such as pure water fasting or partial fasting with limited caloric intake. Supplements like binders and molecular hydrogen can enhance the fasting experience and mitigate any detox symptoms. Other biohacks like red light therapy and low-intensity exercise can also support the fasting process. It is important to listen to your body and adjust the fasting approach based on individual needs and health conditions.
