💦 Fasting has gained attention in cancer research for its potential to enhance treatment efficacy and improve patient outcomes. Studies suggest that intermittent fasting or caloric restriction may sensitize cancer cells to chemotherapy and radiation, making them more vulnerable to treatment. Fasting can also trigger autophagy, a cellular process that helps eliminate damaged cells and may inhibit tumor growth. Additionally, fasting may reduce inflammation and improve metabolic health, factors th
