That’s also kinda true (not the energy part, but the rest). Some of the studies I’ve read heavily imply this “decay” (clearing out trash) allows the body to kill off pre-cancerous cells and do other housekeeping things that it can’t do when the vascular system is busy doing nutrient delivery. This can happen with regular meals that a just a bit too big and a bit too regular. So just as it’s finishing up the rounds you’re adding new nutrients to be delivered. Apparently your body needs at least a few hours daily where it can focus on housekeeping tasks. I’ve come up with analogy of the same vehicles doing package delivery and garbage collection. So if they’re constantly busy will the former the latter will be neglected and things start to pile up.
