Benefits of Fasting for Health and Longevity
Fasting can have a range of positive effects on health and longevity. Dr. Jam the Dass, a cardiologist, observed significant improvements in patients who practiced fasting. These benefits include weight loss, reduced blood pressure, reversal of diabetes, improved mental health, joint health, and even reduced risk of conditions like Alzheimer's and cancer. Fasting triggers processes like autophagy and mitophagy, where cells recycle and become more efficient, which do not occur in a fed state. Fasting also reduces insulin levels, encourages growth hormone production, and stimulates stem cell production.
