Digesting supposedly takes a toll on our system as it cannot carry out a bodily full maintenance cycle while digesting at the same time.

Thus fasting is a MUST, & fasting benefits increase greatly after hour 48.

Digesting supposedly takes a toll on our system as it cannot carry out a bodily full maintenance cycle while digesting at the same time.

That's not how it works.

What happens is that when the cell is starved the body enters a survival mode. This mode promotes genetic repair and protection. The protection of the DNA prevents epigenetic drift which as it turns out is the true cause of aging.

Basically as you age your DNA is actually mostly just fine, but your cells start to get confused about what they should be doing.

See OSK Yamanaka factors and research by Dr. Sinclair.

In a few hours I'll be at hour 48, beyond which autophagy should be pronounced in some of the organs...

Which helps against senescent cells.

.. but remember to not actually starve yourself.
