What Fasting Does to Your Cells That Exercise Can’t
#Fasting #HealthyAging #longevity
What really happens inside your cells when you stop eating for a period of time?
Fasting can trigger metabolic changes that are different from what happens during exercise, including shifts in how your body uses energy and responds to periods without food. In this video, we explore what fasting may do at the cellular level, how these processes differ from exercise, and why the timing and duration of fasting matter.
You’ll learn the science behind fasting, cellular energy use, metabolic switching, and the biological processes researchers are studying in relation to healthy aging.
