If I feel “good” I’ll do a strenuous walk … but water/salt fasts longer than 48 hours are no joke (at least for me) … I don’t push my body beyond the fasting.

Would you say it’s more beneficial to fast than exercising? I guess I’m wondering why I would need to fast if I exercise and eat a healthy diet.
There is a lot of literature on how your body responds to various types of fasts. I’m not recommending anything here but I try to do a 120-hr fast once a year. Intention is to trigger autophagy. And post 72-hrs your mind starts doing some pretty cool stuff.
Throughout the year I’ll do 72-hr fasts to reestablish discipline.
I’m no “expert” by any means but I enjoy the experience of fasting.
