Fasting
Fasting is the conscious abstention from food for a period, allowing the body to shift from immediate energy sources to stored reserves. This pause triggers autophagy, the body’s natural process of cellular renewal and repair. In this quiet recalibration, fat is gently burned, energy stabilizes, and the body finds an opportunity to cleanse and reset
