The document outlines the hourly benefits of fasting, noting that within 4-8 hours of fasting blood sugar falls, food leaves the stomach, and insulin is no longer produced. Between 12-18 hours the body begins burning stored food, healing processes start, and human growth hormone increases to promote fat burning and balancing of blood sugars. After 24 hours the body drains glycogen stores, releases ketones, and autophagy begins to remove damaged cells. Autophagy peaks at 72 hours along with immune system regeneration and reduced inflammation.
