Fasting? Try This Advice From a Women’s Health Expert!
Intermittent fasting has gained significant attention in recent years as a popular dietary approach that involves alternating periods of fasting and eating. It is not a diet in the traditional sense but rather a pattern of eating, customised around daily schedules and meals.
Studies suggest that intermittent fasting may have benefits beyond weight management. Fasting has been associated with improved insulin sensitivity, reduced inflammation, and even potential longevity benefits, though more research is needed to fully understand these effects. It has gained wide popularity given the simplicity of implementing intermittent fasting compared to other diets and meals.
I am no stranger to intermittent fasting having come across the research behind it a few years ago. Struggling with my own health concerns including weight gain and polycystic ovarian syndrome – a metabolic condition that causes resistant weight gain, excessive hair, and various impacts on the menstrual cycle, I resorted to intermittent fasting to help achieve my own health goals.
