Salty PSA: Electrolytes won’t break your fast ⚡⁠ ⁠ mTOR is an enzyme that plays a key role in cell growth, development, and aging. It leaps into action when carbs and protein are present – AKA, when we eat.⁠ ⁠ When we’re not eating, mTOR is suppressed, making room for an enzyme called AMPK to activate. Small but mighty, AMPK drives many fasting-related benefits, including fat-burning and promoting cell health.⁠ ⁠ Since electrolytes don’t have calories, they don’t stimulate mTOR, allowing AMPK to do its work. But electrolytes also provide benefits of their own during a fast – including boosting energy, improving exercise performance, and more.
