While these factors are valid, new research suggests that the core of fasting’s power lies in its effects on mitochondria. These organelles are more than just energy factories; recent findings reveal they operate using quantum mechanics, actively "teleporting" protons across their membranes to create energy—an insight that has profound implications.
