Fasting Insights

Fasting can elevate epinephrine and cortisol levels, creating a state of alertness while also mitigating stress responses. Consuming carbohydrates can blunt these stress hormones, providing a calming effect after eating. While fasting has potential benefits like increased growth hormone, it should be approached with caution to avoid chronic stress and health risks. Staying hydrated is essential, and moderation is key in all practices.
