Se llama ayuno al acto de abstenerse total o parcialmente de comer o beber, por un periodo determinado. Puede realizarse por diversos motivos, pero los principales son religiosos, como manifestación (en este caso se lo suele llamar huelga de hambre), o como técnica curativa en la naturopatía asociado o no a infusiones de plantas medicinales, medicinas naturistas. Recientemente, varias investigaciones (muchas en ratas) han encontrado multitud de beneficios de los estados de ayuno o por lo general, de cetosis. Estos se han realizado mayormente en condiciones de ayuno intermitente o restricción calórica, y van desde neurológicos y prevención del alzheimer a metabólicos, cardiovasculares y cerebrovasculares.
