The Benefits of Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting is about when you eat, not what you eat.
Don’t think about it like a conventional diet, it’s more like an eating pattern.
Intermittent Fasting supports a healthy metabolic rate, good energy levels and beneficial fat metabolism.
Supports resistance to oxidative stress, where unstable molecules called free radicals can damage proteins and DNA.
New research proves fasting improves blood pressure, healthy cholesterol levels & heart health to help prevent Cardiovascular disease.
After a meal, fat is put into storage. Energy is provided by the carbohydrate, protein and fat in the food and drinks we consume. If you take in more food energy than your body uses, then your body stores this excess energy as fat.
More input food energy than output energy and you gain weight.
Intermittent fasting can help a person achieve a state of ketosis. Ketosis is a natural state of the metabolic process. If you take in less food energy than your body uses, your body relies on the stored fat and converts it to needed energy, which releases ketones and leads to ketosis.
Less input food energy than output energy and you lose weight.
Intermittent fasting makes sense when consider how our hunter-gatherer ancestors lived.
Often, our ancestors would have to go for extended periods of time without food. As a result, our bodies evolved to survive for long stretches without regular meals and we adapted to the fasting lifestyle. Today, food is everywhere and our eating styles just aren’t in sync with our evolution. As a result, we’re missing out on the benefits of intermittent eating to improve health, protect against disease and manage weight.
