Cellular Maintenance Periods

Meaning

Cellular Maintenance Periods refer to defined intervals, often coinciding with deep restorative sleep or fasting states, where the body prioritizes internal housekeeping and repair over external activity or immediate energy expenditure. These are critical windows for processes like DNA repair, protein turnover, and the clearing of cellular debris that accumulates during normal metabolic activity. Ensuring adequate time within these states is fundamental to preventing cumulative cellular damage that affects endocrine gland function.
