Fasting has many benefits at the cellular level, especially through the “autophagy” process. Self -devotion is a natural cell mechanism that acts as a recycling process inside the cells, where cells dismantle and remove damaged or non -working components, such as proteins and ancient cells. These reproduction ingredients are used to generate energy or to build new cells. This process is necessary to maintain cell health, prevent the accumulation of harmful substances, and enhance the longevity.
* How does fasting stimulate self -accumulation?
When a person fasts for long periods (usually between 12 to 48 hours), glucose levels decrease in the blood, which reduces the direct energy supply of the cells. As a result, the cells begin to rely on internal energy sources, such as stored fats and damaged cell ingredients. This deficiency in external nutrients acts as a strong motivation for the self -devotion, as the cells dismantle and recycle the damaged ingredients to generate the energy necessary for their survival.
* Professor Yoshinori Osumi and the Nobel Prize:
One of the most important scientific discoveries in this field was by Japanese Professor Yoshinori Osumi, who received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2016. Osumi detailed the accurate molecular mechanisms that control the self -devotion process, and how this process works to clean cells from damaged ingredients and prevent the accumulation of harmful substances. His research helped understand the role of self -accumulation in preventing diseases and promoting cell health.
* Health benefits of self -accusation:
1) Cell repair: Self -devotion helps to remove proteins and damaged organs, which improves cell efficiency and reduces cellular stress.
2) Prevention of diseases: It plays a major role in preventing neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson, as it removes toxic proteins accumulated in neurons. It also helps in fighting cancer and infections.
3) Long life: Studies have shown that enhancing self -devotion is linked to an increase in age in different organisms, from yeast (mono -cell organisms) to mammals.
4) metabolic health: the self -devotion resulting from fasting improves insulin sensitivity, which helps in regulating blood sugar levels and preventing diseases such as type 2 diabetes.
* Conclusion: Fasting is not only a spiritual or nutritional practice, but rather an effective method of improving cell health by stimulating self -devotion. Fasting was mentioned in many places in the Holy Qur’an because of its great importance and reward.
The Almighty said in Surat Al -Baqara: (So whoever volunteers is good, it is better for him and that you fast the best for you if you know). God Almighty believed. We are aware of the importance of fasting and the process of self -accumulation in preventing diseases and enhancing longevity. Therefore, fasting can be considered a powerful tool to support health at the cellular and physical level.
