When you fast, your body is forced to burn stored fat for energy, resulting in weight loss. Intermittent fasting, in particular, has been shown to be an effective tool for weight management. By restricting the timing of when you eat, intermittent fasting can help reduce calorie intake and promote weight loss. Additionally, fasting can also help increase metabolism and improve insulin sensitivity, both of which are important factors in weight management. Fasting has also been shown to have anti-aging effects. Studies have found that fasting can help reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, and cellular damage, all of which are contributing factors to aging.
