As a result, humans evolved to be able to function without food for extended periods of time. In fact, fasting from time to time is more natural than always eating 3-4 (or more) meals per day. Here are some changes that occur in your body when you fast: - The levels of growth hormone skyrocket, increasing as much as 5-fold. This has benefits for fat loss and muscle gain, to name a few. - Insulin sensitivity improves and levels of insulin drop dramatically. Lower insulin levels make stored body fat more accessible, facilitating weight loss. - There are changes in the function of genes related to longevity and protection against disease. - When you fast, several things happen in your body on the cellular and molecular level, and you activate autophagy. Over time, our cells accumulate a variety of dead organelles, damaged proteins, and oxidized particles that clog the body's inner workings. This accelerates aging, induces dementia, and increases the risk of cancer, as well as other age-related diseases. Because many of our cells, like those in
