Lowers the risk of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease
Cells sometimes break, just like the parts of a computer can break. Cells can repair broken parts of themselves, breaking them down and recycling them. This process is called autophagy.
By fasting, we initiate the process of autophagy, through which damaged cells can regenerate (21, 22).
Besides, this process protects against various diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s disease (23, 24, 25, 26).
