What are the health benefits of fasting?

There are just a ton of. Fasting puts our body into its prime-primal state, leading to greater health, better fat burning and improved cellular functioning.
But here’s a list of the benefits.

• Cellular repair via autophagy. – Your body will self-digest itself, leading to the recycling of old waste proteins and through detoxification.
• Increased fat oxidation. – Better use of your own body fat for fuel.
• Hastened metabolism. – Your metabolism actually speeds up by 3–14%.
• Improved biomarkers. – Reduced cholesterol, lower blood sugar, better insulin sensitivity, and no insulin resistance.
• Boosted Growth Hormone. – The Holy Grail of longevity and muscle building. It maintains lean muscle mass and burns fat.
• Increased life-span. – Fasting increases free radicals that trigger protective pathways.
• Protection against cancer and tumors. – Autophagy purges precancerous cells and lowers the risk of tumor growth.
• Bolstered brainpower. – Protection against neurodegenerative disease thanks to increased BDNF.
