How important is it, this type of fast 16 – 8 is popular, 16 hours are not eaten, 8 hours are eaten, I apply that, I have felt in the last year and a half how much I practice, many improvements in the digestive system, I sleep better, I have more energy during the day, I have fewer of these falls “ – Djokovic said

Professor Ivanov has been a vegetarian since birth, and has had extensive analysis:

“What is autophagy? If we don’t eat anything for 12 hours, our brain searches where it can find a reserve. Then it finds a microorganism, a pathogenic bacterium and destroys and recycles it, then it finds a mutated cell and produces extra energy from the decomposed materials so we have extra fuel because we had cells and structures that were dysfunctional for us and that cell is needed to create new healthy young cells. If we had lunch at 2 or 3 o’clock in the afternoon, at 2 or 3 in point after midnight, autophagy is activated and it will. It will cleanse our body of microorganisms, atherosclerotic deposits on the walls of blood vessels, of malignant cells. It will cleanse our body and prepare fuel for the next day, but it should take 12 at 16 hours. “ – Ivanov said.
