Top Open Access Fasting Journals

Fasting is the wilful or determined refrainment from eating for a period of time. In the physiological context, fasting may be referred to the metabolic status of a person who has not eaten overnight, or to the metabolic state achieved after complete digestion and absorption of one meal. More than a few metabolic adjustments occur during fasting. Fasting is a practice that has been associated with a wide array of prospective health benefits that include weight loss, as well as improved blood sugar control, heart health, brain function and cancer prevention. The liver and muscles store the glucose and release it into the bloodstream when the body needs it. Conversely during the fast this process having changes. After about 8 hours of fasting, the liver will use the last of its glucose reserves. At this point, the body enters into a state called gluconeogenesis, marking the body transition into fasting mode. Studies have shown that gluconeogenesis increases the number of calories the body burns and with no carbohydrates coming in the body creates its own glucose using mainly fat.
