#12 - Intermittent Fasting & Aging Backwards!

2 Benefits of Intermittent Fasting, Let's attack the obvious benefit…… Weight Loss This might be an obvious benefit, but it’s important to know about some of the less obvious reasons behind weight loss. Intermittent Fasting increases lipolysis (fat burning) in the body and changes hormone levels to facilitate weight loss. By lowering insulin and increasing growth hormone levels, it also increases the release of the fat-burning hormone called norepinephrine (noradrenaline). Due to these hormonal changes, fasting increases your metabolic rate. Studies show that people who practice Intermittent Fasting can expect to lose up to 7% of their waist circumference, which indicates a significant loss of harmful belly fat that builds up around internal organs and causes disease. What is more, fasting can reduce insulin resistance, lowering blood sugar by 3-6% and insulin levels by 20-31%. It reduces “bad” LDL cholesterol, blood triglycerides, inflammatory markers, and blood sugar. The other mechanism that makes fasting so effective for weight loss is the fact that it provokes the secretion of HGH—a fat-burning hormone that has many well-recognized “anti-aging” health and fitness benefits. 2nd Benefit: Slows down the aging process Aging is a process that can’t be stopped, but changing the way we treat our bodies dramatically affects the way we age. According to research, dietary restrictions such as Intermittent Fasting can keep our mitochondrial networks in a “youthful state.” The full mechanism of how it works would take a lot of scientific terms to explain but if simplified this means that the fasting process activates the life-extending mechanisms, creates space for new cells to grow, and literally rejuvenates our bodies.
