Intermittant fasting

Posted by jrhmd53 on 09 Sep 2015 at 20:54 GMT

I have been doing every other day fasting for the past 12.5 years. I exercise on fasting days to boost gluconeogensis through the lipolysis pathway selectively. Oxidative stress to the liver is a concern, and to counter that I take N-Acetyl Cystiene 2gm daily. Since this an exercise in epigenetics, has anyone noted any DNA changes?
