You may have heard a lot of talk lately about fasting, particularly intermittent fasting (or IF).  Despite this recent surge in popularity, fasting is a practice that dates back centuries and plays an important role in many cultures and religions. In general, most types of fasts are performed over 24-72 hours.  Intermittent fasting, on the other hand, involves cycling between periods of eating and fasting, ranging from a few hours to a few days at a time. Fasting has been shown to have many health benefits, from increased weight loss to better brain function. Today, I’m going to talk about 8 health benefits of fasting - backed by science. -- IGNITEd Firefighter Podcast Facebook Community IGNITEd Readers Book Club IGNITEd Online Shop Intermittent Fasting: Surprising Update Fasting: Health Benefits and Risks Blood Sugar Testing: When, Why, and How
