Can fasting help ?
How does Growth Hormone increase from fasting overall affect us? Question The common consensus is the growth hormone preserves muscle mass. I expect the increase in growth hormone to boost, let's say, our height in the long run. But since our body is running on its own fuel, it should be efficient on how it uses it, inhibiting growth and redirecting resources to preservation. So for someone who fasts consistently, which one holds true? (And asking for myself, does the result change if we assume an overweight person who takes vitamins daily?)

Fasting & Growth Hormone Frequently Asked Questions
The increase in growth hormone from fasting primarily helps with muscle preservation and repair, rather than increasing height. This is because growth hormone has a dual role: it helps with growth and development during childhood and adolescence, but in adults, it shifts towards maintaining and repairing tissues. When you fast, your body adapts by increasing growth hormone production to preserve muscle mass and support overall health. For someone who fasts consistently, this means that muscle mass is more likely to be preserved, rather than increased height. Regarding the scenario of an overweight person taking vitamins daily, the effects of fasting on growth hormone would still be geared towards muscle preservation, but it’s essential to note that individual results may vary depending on factors like overall diet, exercise routine, and health status. It’s always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new fasting regimen, especially if you have specific health concerns or questions.
