\n<\/h2>\nWhat is intermittent fasting?<\/h2>\n
Intermittent fasting is a dietary approach that alternates periods of eating with periods of abstinence from food.
During fasting, the body stops receiving energy from the outside and activates a number of internal processes<\/strong> Overtime:<\/p>\n\n- \n
\ud83d\udd3b Reduction of insulin<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
\ud83d\udd25 Activation of lipolysis (fat burning)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
\ud83e\uddfd Cellular autophagy<\/strong>: cells begin to eliminate toxins and residues<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\ud83d\udc49 It is as if the body \"turns on repair mode.\"<\/p>\n
\n<\/h2>\nThe 3 main types of fasting<\/h2>\n1. Intermittent fasting 16:8<\/h3>\n\n- \n

3. Prolonged fasting (48-72 hours)<\/h3>\n\n- \n
To be performed carefully and only occasionally<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Profound activation of autophagy, cognitive improvement and reduction of inflammation<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
