Water fasting is the best way to maximize the benefits of autophagy.

Autophagy does two things:

1. Eliminates unhealthy cell parts and proteins

2. Turns them into things your cells can use to better your health

Water fasting is the antidote.

Water fasting, or water-only fasting, is a type of fast during which a person consumes ONLY water.

Autophagy peaks at 72 hours. Image
According to these research findings here, and emerging findings from human studies, fasting reduces the risk of diseases (Cancer, Diabetes, Coronary Artery Disease, Heart Disease).

Throughout history, people have completed fasts for spiritual or religious reasons.

Many religions incorporate periods of fasting into their traditions including Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists and Hindus.
But recently, water fasting has gained popularity in the world of holistic health.

We now know that fasting promotes potent changes in metabolic pathways and cellular processes.
Is water fasting safe?

First, pick a time period. Ideally, do it when you can stay home and chill.

Next, eat super healthy in the 3 days leading up to the fast.

If you are dedicated in the days leading up to your fast, you’ll feel more comfortable during the fast.
During your specified fasting period, drink only water.

Some ways you can better deal with hunger while fasting include:

- Meditation
- Breathing exercises
- Sleep
- Go for walks
- Turn off your TV Image
After your water fast ends, you want to ease back into normal eating.

By gradually re-introducing food, and eating smaller meals, your stomach should feel fine.

Fruit is a great snack to break your fast.
