What supplements or electrolytes are important to maintain health and prevent deficiencies during extended fasting?
Fasting—the voluntary abstinence from food and drink—is an ancient tradition long believed to be vital to humans' physical and spiritual health. Practiced for millennia by various cultures and religious groups, fasting is now widely appreciated for its beneficial effects on human metabolism and healthspan.[1]
Prolonged fasting, sometimes called periodic fasting, typically exceeds 48 hours. This long-term food deprivation can induce a unique set of metabolic events, such as more profound ketosis, as glycogen stores are depleted, potentially promoting cellular and systemic clean-up through programs such as apoptosis and autophagy.[1]
"Evidence suggests that fasting flips a metabolic switch, liberating fat stores while prioritizing the safeguarding of lean muscle mass and function."- Dr. Rhonda Patrick Click To Tweet
