Autophagy: How Long to Fast to Trigger Cell Renewal

Understanding Autophagy and Fasting

Autophagy is a natural process where cells recycle damaged parts and regenerate. Intermittent fasting can trigger autophagy, but the question arises: how long must one fast to initiate this process?

Research Findings on Fasting Duration

According to studies, autophagy begins approximately 14 hours after food intake. However, the exact duration required for cells to engage in significant autophagy remains unclear.

Generally, it is recommended to fast for at least 14-17 hours for optimal autophagy benefits.
