Fasting, a practice as simple as abstaining from food, carries profound effects on our bodies. Its inherent simplicity often belies its incredible power. The absence of food, paradoxically, has the potential to trigger a multitude of potent effects on our health.

One key aspect of fasting is comparing it to its diametrical opposite: snacking. The harmful consequences of frequent snacking become apparent upon closer examination. It leads to a chronic elevation of insulin levels, a factor that cascades into a host of health issues. Insulin resistance, stemming from persistent high insulin, can hinder weight loss and create a perpetual cycle of low blood sugar, promoting hunger and mood swings.
