Fasting is the voluntary abstention from food, and sometimes drink, for a specified period, practiced for religious reasons (such as Ramadan or Lent), health purposes like intermittent fasting for weight management, or medical procedures requiring an empty stomach. Popular approaches include time-restricted eating (e.g., 16:8) and extended multi-day fasts, which proponents claim support metabolic health and cellular repair through processes like autophagy. It is practiced by individuals ranging from religious adherents to biohackers and those pursuing specific health or weight-loss goals.
