Fasting is known to promote autophagy, which is the cellular process of recycling and removing damaged or dysfunctional components within cells. Autophagy plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular health and is associated with various health benefits. As well, regular exercise stimulates autophagy through various mechanisms, including energy depletion, activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, induction of heat shock proteins, modulation o...
