TLDR
The term periodic fasting (PF) is used to describe eating patterns in which individuals go extended time periods (e.g., 16-48h) with little or no energy intake, with intervening periods of normal food intake, on a recurring basis as mentioned in this paper.

Flipping the Metabolic Switch: Understanding and Applying the Health Benefits of Fasting

TL;DR: This review is focused on the physiological responses of major organ systems, including the musculoskeletal system, to the onset of the metabolic switch: the point of negative energy balance at which liver glycogen stores are depleted and fatty acids are mobilized (typically beyond 12 hours after cessation of food intake).
Journal ArticleDOI

Intermittent metabolic switching, neuroplasticity and brain health

TL;DR: How intermittent metabolic switching, repeating cycles of a metabolic challenge that induces ketosis (fasting and/or exercise) followed by a recovery period (eating, resting and sleeping), may optimize brain function and resilience throughout the lifespan is considered, with a focus on the neuronal circuits involved in cognition and mood.

Early Time-Restricted Feeding Improves 24-Hour Glucose Levels and Affects Markers of the Circadian Clock, Aging, and Autophagy in Humans

TL;DR: Early time-restricted feeding (eTRF) as mentioned in this paper is a form of intermittent fasting that involves having a longer daily fasting period and has been shown to improve cardiometabolic health in rodents and humans.

Intermittent fasting activates cellular stress response pathways, enhances mitochondrial health, DNA repair, and autophagy, promoting healing and recovery.

How does intermittent fasting impact aging?

Intermittent fasting has been shown to improve general health, prevent and manage major diseases of aging, and promote stem cell-based regeneration.
