📌 Intermittent fasting is a beneficial eating pattern that has two important effects: decreasing insulin levels and promoting autophagy.

📌 Insulin levels drop during the fasting period, which starts after 12 hours of not eating, and this drop is proportional to the length of the fasting period.

📌 Fasting also promotes autophagy, which is the process of clearing out waste products and negative substances from cells.

🍽️ Intermittent fasting involves a cell-cleansing process called autophagy, which helps balance metabolism and regulate blood sugar levels.

⏰ The duration of fasting depends on individual factors such as metabolism and existing health conditions.

💪 Intermittent fasting is beneficial for weight management, cardiovascular health, diabetes prevention, and overall well-being.
