Does that mean a 24h fast but frequent is enough to trigger DNA repair mechanism? My understanding so far was you needed at least a 72h fast.

- anonuser123456 5y agoI haven't read enough on the subject, but Peter Attia has discussed this on a few podcasts. His general view is that no one knows; we simply don't have the biomarkers or lab tests to even run good experiments yet.
- dvt 5y ago> needed at least a 72h fast I think you're thinking of ketosis, which is ~72hrs. You can also verify entering ketosis by the smell & color of your urine. We're not 100% sure how ketosis relates to cellular autophagy.
