'Not Just Protein, India a Fiber Deficient Country' | Dr Shubham Vatsya | Sonal Mehrotra

Описание: Fasting, intermittent fasting, calorie deficit diets, autophagy, gut resets, Navratri fasting, GLP-1 -- GI expert Dr. Shubham Vatsya gives Indians the most complete, honest science of fasting in one episode.

Hindus fast for Navratri. Muslims fast for Ramzan. Celebrities swear by intermittent fasting. Scientists have won Nobel Prizes studying it. And yet fasting remains the most misunderstood health tool available to every single Indian -- for free.

In this episode of Doctor Vs Internet, Senior Health Editor Sonal Mehrotra Kapoor sits down with Gastroenterologist Dr. Shubham Vatsya to break down exactly what fasting does to your body, who should do it, how to do it correctly, and why most Indians -- despite fasting their whole lives -- are getting no benefit from it at all.

KEY MEDICAL TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
1. Fasting vs. Starvation: Controlled insulin drops force the body into a metabolic switch from glucose to ketones, activating cellular autophagy when maintained in a true calorie deficit.
2. Breaking the Fast Correctly: High-glycemic foods right after a fast cause rapid insulin spikes, driving immediate fat storage. Fasting must be broken with light protein, healthy fats, and fiber.
3. Religious Fasting Restructure: Ancient Navratri, Ramzan, and Sawan protocols were engineered for metabolic resets, but modern fried and ultra-processed "fast-friendly" foods reverse these benefits.
4. Clinical Precautions: Diabetics, kidney patients, and children should never undertake unsupervised fasting without monitoring blood sugar and key health markers.
