Not sure how much benefit. I read: Short fasts do not accomplish much autophagy, mitophagy or recycling of senescent cells. AMPK (activated protein kinase) is required. Just as the autophagy ramps up, the fast is over, ending the cell clean-up process. However, long-term traditional fasts are not required. One to two days of fasting accomplishes the most. |
