Glucose Reserve

James W. Clement, in a conversation with Paul Saladino on the , explains the critical impact of high blood sugar on overall health. He describes how glucose molecules can attach to proteins in the endothelial lining of blood vessels, akin to forming a glass-like substance, which essentially "coats" the vessels and contributes to hardening of the arteries. This process, known as glycation, is exacerbated by consistently full glycogen reserves and constantly high blood glucose levels. Fast periods can help mitigate this issue by reducing blood sugar levels and avoiding the build-up of glycation products 1.
