What are the scientific benefits of fasting from foods and drinks for certain time during the day?
Dear all -
I want to share a post that I found it on LinkedIn posted by Amir as I feel it is important to show how important is fasting to prevent some diseases like CDD.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is still the leading causes of fatalities in the world, close to 18 million deaths worldwide. 🔬
A large part of CVD is high blood pressure with a staggering 1.1 billion adults having high Bp. 🌡
Now one of the causes is having blood vessels clogged up with fat due to poor diets etc 🌭🍔🍟🍕🍫🧁. As a result many taking medications to combat high Bp and high cholesterol.
Fasting and the concept of it can help alleviate those two hallmarks quite naturally. You need to breakdown fats for energy under a fasted state, this alleviates the burden on the heart, lowers Bp and improves CV health. ⛑🥼
So why don’t we incorporate some form of fasting in our lifestyle? What is stopping us?
Would we not want to do that as opposed to taking daily medication? 💪🏽💥💥🔥😄

Fasting allows the body to burn fat for energy when there is no sugar or food. Fasting can enhance hormone function to help with weight loss. Increased amounts of norepinephrine, lower insulin levels, and an increase of hormone levels all contribute to the breakdown of body fat.
Dear Sadanand Pandey appreciated for sharing your scientific insights! Do you think fasting should be done in a regular basis or at certain time to get all those benefits? What I feel is it need to be consistent to harmonize our body. If we just do it in certain time and ear a lot other time we might not get the benefits.
