**New trending religious ritual promises anti-aging benefits**
A religious ritual since ancient times, fasting, is gaining popularity once again for its purported benefits for the body and mind. One particular form of fasting known as ‘autophagy’ is being praised for its ability to slow down the natural aging process. Curious about the trend, one individual decided to embark on a three-day fasting journey.
The concept of autophagy is intriguing as it involves the body’s cleaning process during a period of fasting. The body burns old, worn-out, and potentially diseased cells, resulting in cell renewal. Additionally, fasting is also believed to have anti-inflammatory properties and can combat insulin resistance, providing an overall ‘reset’ for the body.
The individual embarked on a three-day fast, a seemingly impulsive decision prompted by a friend’s video explaining the process of autophagy. The first day went by smoothly, with the challenge being to forgo familiar meals and rituals. However, on day two, the individual experienced fatigue and weakness, with energy levels starting to wane. By day three, the effects of fasting were more noticeable, with euphoria and an overall feeling of clarity and increased energy post-fasting.
Despite the positive experience, it is important to note that fasting is not suitable for everyone. It is not recommended for children, teenagers, pregnant women, or older individuals with muscle loss. Fasting can also disrupt hormone balance and may affect fertility in women. Individuals with eating disorders are advised against fasting, and it is important to consult with a doctor before attempting any form of fasting.
While fasting may have its benefits, it is crucial to approach it with caution and be mindful of any potential risks. Ultimately, a balanced and healthy diet, along with a healthy lifestyle, remains the best approach to overall well-being and longevity.]
