Here's some: Improved insulin sensitivity: fasting gives your body a break from constantly processing glucose, which can help lower blood sugar levels and improve how your body responds to insulin. Cellular cleanup: after about 16–24 hours without food, your body ramps up autophagy, a process where cells remove damaged components, potentially reducing inflammation and improving longevity. Mental clarity and focus: many people report increased focus and mental sharpness during longer fasts, possibly due to stable energy from ketones and the absence of food-related blood sugar swings.

thanks for this. These are conflicting researches though. Previous researches were more like eating and getting nutrients helps boost the brain and focus so fasting offering the same benefits just confuses me
