ntermittent fasting is not a fad diet. It is an eating cycle that provides a timeframe for you to eat and a timeframe for you to fast. Always check with your medical practitioner before trying any new exercise, supplement, food, or fasting regime. People with medical issues should refrain from fasting, so always get clearance. If you are pregnant, want to conceive, breastfeeding, have low blood pressure, are diabetic, on medications, have an eating disorder, underweight, have difficulty processing sugar and many other health issues, remember to get clearance.

Here are some of the benefits of intermittent fasting:
aids in weight loss
may lower blood pressure, and blood sugar levels
may reduce inflammation
may increase human growth hormone
changes hormone levels to facilitate weight loss
increases metabolic rate
may reduce waist circumference
Increases release of the fat-burning hormone norepinephrine
helps you eat fewer calories
may reduce “bad” LDL cholesterol, blood triglycerides
may increase the brain hormone BDNF
may aid the growth of new nerve cells
may activate autophagy, the ability to old damaged cell components
may decrease insulin levels, making it easier for the body to use stored fat.
