5 Health Benefits of Fasting, Backed by Science
From weight loss to improved blood sugar management, fasting can affect your health in many impressive ways. Learn 8 health benefits of fasting — backed by science.
Phew, I'm about 4 hours away from eating a small meal. Been fasting for the day and I'm fairly hungry, I think everyone should give this a try. Myself personally having a sweet tooth you learn that ''hunger'' is actually not real at all!
Cravings for goodies like chips, chocolate or anything that tastes amazing is just a trick your brain plays on you from the dopamine releases after satisfying an urge to indulge.
I'm going to add this into my life more, being ''controlled'' by hunger and food cravings is something I'd like to erase from my life, a week ago I binged on pizza and chips and felt like total garbage, now having no food in my stomach I actually feel great.
Feel free to share any benefits you've experienced from fasting! Hopefully this could help some people.
7. Could Delay Aging and Extend Longevity
Several animal studies have found promising results on the potential lifespan-extending effects of fasting.
In one study, rats that fasted every other day experienced a delayed rate of aging and lived 83% longer than rats that didn’t fast (27Trusted Source).
Other animal studies have had similar findings, reporting that fasting could be effective in increasing longevity and survival rates (28Trusted Source, 29Trusted Source, 30Trusted Source).
However, current research is still limited to animal studies. Further studies are needed to understand how fasting may impact longevity and aging in humans.
