Fasting by-products
- Autophagy: process of senescent cell clean-up
- Ketosis: Entering ketotic state to meet energy requirements.
- Grelling: Grellin (hunger) lowerse / level out.
- Minerals: Pulling minerals from bone structure.
Contextual cues
- Need healthy fat reservers (keto dies supplement)
- Increased strain on liver (ketone producion) + kidnes (bloog filtering)
- Bloog glucose levels drop (diabetics)
