Intermittent Fasting has a few variations, the most common known as Time-restricted feeding.  It involves eating only during a certain number of hours each day.  A common form of TRF involves fasting for 16 hours each day and only eating during the remaining 8 hours, typically on the same schedule each day.  

According to research, Intermittent Fasting has the following health benefits:


1. Changes The Function of Cells, Genes and Hormones
  • Insulin levels: Blood levels of insulin drop significantly, which facilitates fat burning.
  • Human growth hormone: The blood levels of growth hormone may increase as much as 5-fold. Higher levels of this hormone facilitate fat burning and muscle gain, and have numerous other benefits.
  • Cellular repair: The body induces important cellular repair processes, such as removing waste material from cells.
  • Gene expression: There are beneficial changes in several genes and molecules related to longevity and protection against disease.
2. Can Help You Lose Weight and Belly Fat
3. Can Reduce Insulin Resistance, Lowering Your Risk of Type 2 Diabetes
4. Can Reduce Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in The Body
5. May be Beneficial For Heart Health
6. Induces Various Cellular Repair Processes
7. May Help Prevent Cancer
8. Is Good For Your Brain
9. May Help Prevent Alzheimer's Disease
10. May Extend Your Lifespan, Helping You Live Longer
