Intermittent fasting (IF) isn’t just for weight loss — it’s a proven longevity tool. By cycling between eating and fasting, you activate autophagy: the body’s process of cleaning out damaged cells and regenerating new ones.
Studies show IF can improve insulin sensitivity, reduce inflammation, and increase human growth hormone — all key markers of youthfulness and disease prevention [5].

The 16:8 approach — eat during an 8-hour window, fast for the remaining 16.
Biohack Tip: Break your fast with nutrient-dense foods (like eggs, leafy greens, and olive oil) to support mitochondrial health and avoid insulin spikes.
