About this ebook

""Science of Fasting"" explores the profound biological impacts of fasting, moving beyond fad diets to examine its scientific basis in health and wellness. The book illuminates how fasting triggers metabolic adaptation, shifting the body's energy source from glucose to fat, a process valuable for weight management and improved insulin sensitivity. Furthermore, it delves into cellular autophagy, a crucial self-cleaning mechanism upregulated during fasting, contributing to cellular repair and longevity.

This exploration begins by tracing fasting from ancient practices to modern scientific inquiry, providing readers with a foundational understanding of key concepts like cellular respiration before diving into specific areas. The book investigates fasting's role in promoting metabolic flexibility, enhancing cellular repair, and modulating the gut microbiome.

By synthesizing findings from peer-reviewed research and clinical trials, it offers practical insights into incorporating fasting for health benefits. The book takes a balanced approach, acknowledging complexities and emphasizing individualized strategies. It progresses systematically, building from biochemical basics to the modulation of systemic health markers like inflammation, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels.

Ultimately, ""Science of Fasting"" aims to equip readers with the knowledge to make informed decisions about fasting, promoting health and resilience through controlled and evidence-based practices.
