Good Morning!

When fasting, the individual causes in his body a series of reactions in order to preserve the health and survival of the organism. First, hormone levels change. Then the insulin drops drastically from the blood. After that, the body begins the process of autophagy (cells start digesting useless proteins), and finally, the fat is now available to be burned by the cells as a form of energy.
