By now, your body has officially entered a new state — the cellular clean-up mode.
After 16 to 24 hours of fasting, your cells begin a remarkable process called autophagy, which literally means βself-eating.β
But don’t let the name fool you — this isn’t destruction. It’s recycling and renewal.
Your bodystarts to scan for weak or damaged cells, break them down, and reuse their parts to build new, stronger ones.
Think of it as a deep clean for your entire system:
Old proteins are broken down.
Energy is recycled efficiently.
Your brain starts working clearer.
Inflammation begins to fade.
Every fast you take gives your body time torepair, reset, and rebuild at the cellular level β something constant eating doesnβt allow.
Your body isn’t shutting down during fasting. It’s tuning up.
