Here are some benefits of working out in a fasted state:
Improves fat oxidation: Fasting can promote body fat loss and weight loss.
Enhances growth hormone production: Fasting during exercise increases growth hormone production, which can help the body build muscle and burn fat.
Induces autophagy: This can be thought of as your body’s natural cleaning process where it breaks down old or damaged cells and allows the body to reuse them. Research suggests there is a link between fasting and regular exercise that can trigger this process.
