Advantages of therapeutic fasting in a resort

The concept of "healthy aging" combines various areas of research to address the molecular and physiological modulation of aging, social well-being, physical and cognitive fitness. Dietary modulation is the most important factor determining aging. The sum of metabolic, transcriptional, proteomic and microbiota changes caused by calorie restriction and fasting leads to increased resistance to stress, improved cell and DNA repair, autophagy induction and improved mitochondrial function. Since 1995, the Republic of Buryatia has had a therapeutic fasting center located in the Goryachinsk Resort on the shores of Lake Baikal. Therapeutic fasting at the resort is used to treat many diseases. A set of physiotherapeutic procedures combined with climatic factors helps reduce the intensity of fasting negative effects on the body and improves treatment efficacy.
