Intermittent fasting (F) or cyclic fasting has definitely risen in popularity in the past few years as new health benefits continue to emerge. IF is basically when you restrict eating to a specific window of time after an overnight fast. What’s the benefit of even doing this? IF has been shown to prevent inflammation, slow degenerative disease. Improve glucose-insulin levels, reset metabolism, remove toxins, improve brain function (epilepsy), aid in weight loss, and ultimately, slow down the aging process. By giving the body a break from constant fueling and digestion, we can actually create a window of time for structural and biochemical healing. You can start IF by fasting for just a few hours to skipping meals for two days a week. l often coach my clients to do a 16/8 or time-restricted feeding. Most often, this involves not eating anything after dinner and skipping breakfast the next morning.
