The Benefits of Fasting and Our Genetic Design
Fasting taps into our primal energy system and allows our bodies to burn fat for fuel, which is beneficial for overall health and healing. Our modern lifestyle, with constant food availability, prevents us from accessing this fat-burning system. Fasting also triggers the production of ketones, which promote calmness and reduce hunger. Both men and women are designed to fast, but women's hormonal profiles require different fasting approaches. A fasting lifestyle can help improve metabolism and support overall well-being.
