Fasting has been shown to increase the stimulation of autophagy, which is the body’s natural process of cellular repair and regeneration. Autophagy has anti-aging and disease-preventative effects. It works by clearing out damaged cells and cellular waste, which can help to promote brain health and potentially protect against neurodegenerative disorders. Participating in fasting periods can also increase longevity for those who are consistent with their schedule, as consistency maximizes the benefits of fasting.
