Muchos son los mitos y las dudas que rodean al ayuno: una antigua pero poderosa intervenci n metab lica que, cuando se aplica de manera estrat gica, intermitente y guiada por un especialista, no s lo es capaz de promover una acelerada p r - dida de peso, sino de prevenir nuestra resistencia a la in - sulina y disminuir nuestro riesgo de padecer enfermedades tan terribles como el c ncer, el Alzheimer, el Parkinson, las cardiopat as o la diabetes. En esta gu a, profunda pero accesible, el doctor Joseph Mercola nos invita a explorar:

- La fisiolog a y los mecanismos del ayuno, y su papel en la dieta cetog nica c clica .
- C mo los ayunos regulares, aplicados de forma segura y monitoreada, apoyan la quema de grasa y la desin - toxicaci n, al tiempo que minimizan el hambre y los efectos secundarios.
- Por qu convertir la grasa en nuestro combustible cor - poral m s constante es esencial para evitar los terri - bles bajones , dormir mejor y estar m s descansados al despertar.

Conquista la flexibilidad metab lica que tu cuerpo necesita y disfruta los beneficios duraderos de un estilo de vida que llevar tu salud y longevidad a niveles nunca imaginados.

Podemos confiar en que, conforme avanza la ciencia de la cetosis y el ayuno, el doctor Joseph Mercola siempre se man - tendr a la vanguardia. Doctor Steven R. Gundry, autor de La paradoja vegetal, The New York Times Bestseller

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From Dr. Joseph Mercola, one of the world's foremost authorities on alternative health: a guide to using the principles of ketogenic eating, meal planning, and timing to treat disease, promote weight loss, and optimize health.

We all know that food is medicine--yet going without food is one of the single best things you can do for your health. Short, doable fasts, when strategically timed, are an incredibly powerful metabolic intervention, dovetailing perfectly with a ketogenic diet to activate your body's fat-burning mode. This in turn can ward off insulin resistance, reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, optimize brain function, prevent neurological problems, support weight loss, and more.

In this in-depth yet accessible guide, Dr. Joseph Mercola explores the profound health benefits that result when ketogenic living and well-planned fasting are combined. Topics include:

- How our food is making us sick and what we can do about it
- The physiology and mechanisms of fasting, including stem cell activation
- How the cyclical ketogenic diet--with fasting included--differs from the conventional keto diet
- How fasting works and how safe it is for you
- How regular one-day fasts support fat burning and detoxification while minimizing hunger and side effects
- How to monitor your progress with lab tests
- And much more

"This will be an exciting journey for you," Dr. Mercola writes. "I am beyond excited for you to implement what I consider to be one of the most powerful physical strategies to help you not only recover your health, but also improve it to levels you likely never believed were possible."
