Intermittent Fasting — How 12 Hours Can Change Body Chemistry
A simple fasting window can lower insulin, shift the body toward stored energy, and give digestion a rest. The key is consistency, not extremes.
Why intermittent fasting matters
The main value of intermittent fasting is its relationship to insulin rest, fat use, autophagy, and sustainable habits. 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
Use intermittent fasting as part of a complete pattern: eat when hungry, stop before heaviness, avoid industrial foods, and keep fasting or meal timing realistic. The benefit comes from the whole system working together, not from one ingredient alone.
