Fasting Insights

Fasting can offer benefits like calorie restriction and bowel rest, particularly for those with gastrointestinal issues. However, as individuals age, the balance between muscle protein synthesis and catabolism becomes crucial, making fasting less advisable for those struggling to maintain muscle mass. When considering additional protein intake, timing between meals is essential, with a focus on how much protein can be effectively assimilated within specific time frames.
