AI overview

Fasting is the practice of refraining from eating, and sometimes drinking, for a period of time. From a physiological perspective, fasting refers to the metabolic state that occurs after a meal has been fully digested and absorbed—a process that typically begins 3–5 hours after eating—or simply the state of not having eaten overnight before breakfast.

Se llama ayuno al acto de abstenerse total o parcialmente de comer o beber, por un periodo determinado. Puede realizarse por diversos motivos, pero los principales son religiosos, como manifestación (en este caso se lo suele llamar huelga de hambre), o como técnica curativa en la naturopatía asociado o no a infusiones de plantas medicinales, medicinas naturistas. Recientemente, varias investigaciones (muchas en ratas) han encontrado multitud de beneficios de los estados de ayuno o por lo general, de cetosis. Estos se han realizado mayormente en condiciones de ayuno intermitente o restricción calórica, y van desde neurológicos y prevención del alzheimer a metabólicos, cardiovasculares y cerebrovasculares.
