It may be that you are intimated to try on Intermittent Fasting or, if you did, you haven't gotten the results you expected or perhaps, you felt too drastic for you. We want to clear your doubts to give you a new opportunity. If you're fit for Intermittent Fasting and you do it the right way, in addition to losing weight, you'll give your health a big boost.
What Is Intermittent Fasting?
• It's an extended period that we spend without ingesting food. In fact, people do fast by spending about 8 hours without eating during the night. That is why the first meal of the day is called "breakfast", because we end with fasting.
• Fasting is not a new method, because it has a millennial use in many cultures and religions. It is believed that by resting our digestive system, the body is relieved and our mind is calm, which facilitates meditation and introspection.
According to science ... What benefits does fasting have?
• On a scientific level it has been seen that by giving the body a pause of the digestion process, it can focus on eliminating toxins, on improving energy levels and even on curing certain ailments and diseases. (1)
• The most recent studies have shown that a fast performed in the right way goes well beyond weight loss and could be key to combating the effects of aging in the body, as it can control inflammation and generate a metabolic change in glucose and protein, and even, produce a regulation and improvement of people's mood. (2) (3)
• By having a better mood and better metabolism, physical performance is also better, which is key to losing weight. (4)
How do I make a fast that really is a support for my health?
First of all, you don't need to perform extreme fasting from day to day. If you spend 8 hours sleeping, you can start by increasing one hour before you go to bed and another when you wake up, before you have breakfast. That way, you'll be fasting for 10 hours! Gradually you can add more time, until fasting between 12 to 16 hours.
Researchers have realized that a fast has optimal results when we give the body high nutrients in the food hours. That way, it removes toxins during fasting and then thrives, helping to improve the tissues and cells of our body.
