What Are Some Health Benefits?
While up until now, we’ve mainly discussed the bad sides of fasting, let’s take a look at the good. It can help boost metabolism because it causes a specific hormone to rise, promoting fat burning.
Although if you do this for shorter periods of time can slightly boost your metabolism, doing this for an extended period may cause the opposite effect.
Intermittent fasting, which calls for eating all your meals within eight hours, has other health benefits: reducing inflammation, decreasing your blood pressure and heart rate, and reducing cholesterol. It can also help lower hormone resistance in people with diabetes.
