Fasting Protocols

Meaning

Fasting Protocols refer to structured, intentional patterns of voluntarily abstaining from food and, sometimes, caloric beverages for specific periods. These protocols, which include intermittent fasting and prolonged fasting, are utilized as metabolic strategies to induce beneficial physiological shifts. Clinically, they are employed to improve insulin sensitivity, promote cellular autophagy, and modulate hormonal pathways related to metabolism and longevity. Implementation requires careful consideration of individual health status and nutritional needs.
