Fasting as part of your Health Journey.

Abel Landin, in this episode of the Dinner Table podcast, thoroughly explores the intriguing subject of fasting. He explains the concept of fasting, its various types such as whole-day and intermittent fasting, and different ways one can benefit from this practice. These include weight loss, improvement of insulin sensitivity, cellular repair and autophagy, boosted cognitive function, and cultural and spiritual aspects. Landin also discloses the potential benefits, including increased metabolic health and anti-aging effects. However, he also warns of potential adverse effects such as dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, low blood sugar levels, and digestive disturbances. To successfully undertake fasting, Landin suggests starting slowly, staying well-hydrated, listening to signs of distress from the body, and ending the fast carefully.
