What is fasting?

Edited

Simply put, intermittent fasting is time-restricted eating that requires you to limit yourself to only eating during specific hours of the day. The most popular type of fasting is daily time-restricted fasting. It implies limiting your eating to an eight-hour period of the day and fasting for the remaining 16 hours.

There are some benefits of fasting put together by our fitness experts:

  • It is efficient at achieving overall weight loss and maintenance of muscular weight.

  • When fasting, one reduces the daily calorie intake and the body switches to nutrition with reserves of visceral and subcutaneous fat. This type of fat is usually in abundance, hence burning it contributes to more effective weight loss or an increase in net body weight.

  • There has been researching done that intermittent fasting can help reduce inflammation in the body, which helps fight many chronic diseases.

  • This type of fasting is good, but it’s not for everyone! If you have kidney stones, stomach problems, diabetes, or other chronic diseases, consult your doctor before fasting.

  • Intermittent Fasting helps in the regulation of blood sugar levels, as well as for the prevention of insulin resistance, and it also improves metabolism.

Before enrolling in any intermittent fasting program, please consult with your healthcare provider.
