8. IF 23:1 Promotes Autophagy
The prolonged periods of fasting promote a process called autophagy, which is when cells recycle waste material, remove damaged components, and repair themselves. Autophagy promotes longevity and health.
During the fasted state, your cells initiate important cellular repair processes and remove waste products. Old cell components are broken down and new ones generated to rejuvenate cells. This regeneration effect fights aging and disease.
Intermittent fasting 23/1 provides a powerful boost in autophagy due to the extended length of the daily fasts. This cellular cleansing supports your healthspan in addition to aiding sustainable fat loss.
