Intermittent Fasting | Everything About Intermittent Fasting

6. Repairs cells through autophagy:

One of the main areas of interest in fasting is the effect on cells. Fasting not only allows the body to heal but also helps the body get rid of the accumulated defective cells and proteins what is known as autophagy which basically means waste removal that makes the cells recycle the nucleus with the DNA and mitochondria which produces energy and lysosomes which remove waste from cells to free up building units to use for making new healthy cell components and increase the lifespan of the newly formed cells while getting rid of the defective destructed old cells by that it rejuvenates the whole body and lowers the risk of many diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease.
