Benefits of fasting

What are the benefits of fasting?

Combat the weight gain and oxidative stress by incorporating a quick way or cleaning day in your diet.

One or two days per week of a cleaning or calorie reduction is similar to if not more beneficial that the style of 'starvation' normal full time to diet to shed weight and oxidative stress, studies suggest.

Do concerned might have eaten too much on special functions or during the holiday season? After the festivities with a couple of fast or clean days is an effective way to track compensating calories meals extra.

Most importantly, eating a normal diet and also reduce the intake of calories in just 1 or 2 days per week can have major benefits and provide better long-term results.

In a randomized trial in 107 of middle-aged, overweight or obese women, the researchers compared the caloric restriction intermittent with continuous caloric restriction (regular diet). He was one of the first human trials ever compare two strategies for weight control. On the six-month study, the researchers took steps including weight, total body fat, blood pressure and blood samples to determine changes in the insulin resistance and weight.

The study assigned to women do not eat a restricted calorie diet continues (25 percent below the estimate of the daily needs) or a restricted calorie diet in a 75 per cent to only two days a week, the other five days the estimated requirements for the maintenance of the weight.

Women in the calorie-restricted group followed a Mediterranean diet. The diet contained 30 percent of calories from fat, 45 percent of calories from carbohydrates of low glycemic index and 25 percent of calories from protein. Intermittent calorie restriction group followed the same diet, but two days consumed around 75% fewer calories each day.

At the end of the six months, the researchers found that both groups were comparable in total weight loss and improvements in several markers of risk for diabetes type 2, cardiovascular disease and several types of cancer.

However, intermittent calorie restriction group seemed to have greater improvements in sensitivity to insulin and markers of oxidative stress.

The increased sensitivity of the insulin of intermittent calorie restriction can be related the significant decrease of insulin in the body during a reduced intake of one or two days in calories, which was followed by the regular intake of calories. Wrote, intermittent calorie restriction "can be used as an equivalent alternative to" diet "by weight loss and reduce risk of disease."

Previously, reviews of research have also speculated that intermittent calorie restriction may be related to better prevention of diseases that continuous fasting due to increased resistance to oxidativos-resultados stress of this study may support this assertion.

These findings support the importance of what I call days clean where for 1 or 2 days a week severely restricting calorie intake and mainly only drink water. It is indeed a fast which also purges the impurities of your body.

There are ways to improve normal intermittent calorie restriction taking nutritional supplements that nutritionally supports the body, and adding antioxidant protection and promotes detoxification through a mixture of natural herbs, vitamins and minerals.
