Fasting has been shown to trigger pro-COVID longevity and anti-aging mechanisms, and keeping blood sugar low for a certain period of time can help to do this. There are different types of fasting that people can try depending on their lifestyle, and some researchers have discovered that certain forms of fasting can even lead to a deep cleanse called the chaperone-mediated autophagy that removes deep proteins.

Fasting
Summary

Keeping your daily blood glucose low for a period of time triggers pro-longevity and anti-aging mechanisms. Longer fasts, such as 48 or 72 hours or even week-long fasts, can trigger a deeper cleanse called chaperone-mediated autophagy which removes deep proteins from the body.
