Fasting and Autophagy — How the Body Renews Itself
Fasting gives the body time away from constant digestion. This supports fat use, metabolic flexibility, and cellular renewal processes such as autophagy.
Why fasting and autophagy matters
The main value of fasting and autophagy is its relationship to cellular renewal, insulin rest, fat burning, and digestive recovery. In the Tayibat approach, food is judged by how it affects digestion, energy, inflammation, and long-term resilience. This is why the system favors traditional whole foods over highly processed products.

How to use it in the Tayibat system
