Fasting, unlike a regular diet, is the abstinence from eating and drinking for a certain period of time. Along with spiritual benefits such as mental renewal and clarity of mind, fasting is also very important for health.

Research has shown that fasting can reduce body weight by up to 9%. In other words, it is possible to lose excess body fat without putting strain on the muscles.
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is naturally produced in the body and reaches tissues through blood circulation. When fasting, the release of high amounts of HGH promotes the burning of excess fat. This helps strengthen body muscles and increase flexibility.
Fasting triggers autophagy (the body's cell recycling system), allowing the body to break down and recycle old cells. In this case, the human body is completely cleared of cellular debris.
Fasting helps keep carbohydrate and blood glucose levels stable and assists in reducing visceral fat mass. Experts note that fasting has a positive effect on people suffering from diabetes. In this situation, the body's sensitivity to insulin increases and its resilience is strengthened.
Fasting prevents neurodegenerative disorders and aids in the recovery and generation of nerve cells. This improves brain function.
Studies have revealed that people who fast live longer. This is mainly explained by the fact that fasting eases the work of the gastrointestinal system, keeps the cardiovascular system and blood pressure at normal levels, and prevents excess weight in the body.
