Many people are skeptical of starvation, because why deliberately make suffer your body and pace yourself. What if I told you that such procedures can be beneficial to the body ...? Of course, we are not talking about when due to various reasons a person is forced to abandon the consumption of food.
It is proved that a controlled withdrawal of food cleanses the body and helps to improve the work of all its systems. But you need to approach this with the mind, and only after consultation with your doctor. You'll be amazed when I tell you that fasting has a number of advantages. I am sure after reading these facts you differently start to treat the voluntary refusal of food. So, here are these benefits.
1. Fasting promotes weight loss.
Fasting can still help you lose weight. However, this procedure must be approached with a mind! Studies have shown that only a controlled fasting for a certain number of hours helps burn more calories than during normal diet. The fact that in this way your body is not needed in the sugar, since it uses the fat as the main source of energy. That's why many athletes are now often used fasting to reduce the percentage of body fat before competition.
2. Fasting controls the production of insulin.
Adjustable refusal to eat for some time has a positive effect on insulin sensitivity. This means that carbohydrates are converted faster than when you're not hungry. Insulin is known to be responsible for blood glucose levels.
3. Fasting speeds up metabolism.
Periodic fasting allows from time to time to "rest" your digestive system, thereby causing the "wake up" your metabolism. And when the metabolism is activated, the body works much better. Moreover, at times it improves bowel.
4. Fasting promotes longevity.
Believe it - no, but it's one of the secrets of longevity. Studies have shown that the life expectancy of people in different cultures depends on the diet. There is nothing surprising in this, all natural: the less you eat, the better metabolism, the younger your body. With aging, everything is exactly the opposite.
5. Fasting makes you feel hungry.
Unless you can feel real hunger, when to eat every 3-4 hours? Of course not. To experience this feeling, you need to wait 12 to even 24 hours. Fasting helps to activate specific hormones that are responsible for feelings of hunger. And when the hormonal system, all right, the brain receives the correct signals, but the entire body works as a well-coordinated mechanism.
6. Fasting improves the diet.
Moderate fasting can be a useful practice for those who suffer from overeating, as well as for those who find it difficult to stick to a certain diet due to work or other factors. So you can learn to eat at a set time, which corresponds to your lifestyle.
7. Fasting restores brain function.
You'll be surprised, but controlled starvation stimulates brain activity. It promotes the release of a special protein, which causes the stem cells to transform into new neurons. This same protein also protects the brain cells from changes associated with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
8. Fasting improves the immune system.
Periodic fasting stimulates the immune system, helps to regulate the appearance of inflammation in the body and reduces the formation of cancer cells. An example from nature, when an animal is sick, it is no longer there and instead focuses on the town. This is done instinctively, that the body can fight off the infection. But the people, on the contrary, when ill, are looking for something to eat, even when these foods often they do not need.
9. Fasting promotes self-knowledge.
Fasting helps to ensure that many people are beginning to link their lives with meditation, yoga, martial arts. Everything is logical: when the body is filled with food, there is more space for the brain and new ideas. This makes it possible to feel "lightness", that is difficult to feel with a full stomach. Thus, fasting helps cleanse the mind and forces to look at everything with gratitude.
10. Fasting cleanses the skin and prevents acne.
Studies have shown that if there is not anything one day, the body gets rid of toxins, getting better functioning of organs such as the liver and kidneys. As you know, the health of these organs greatly affects the condition of your skin.
11. Starving the body releases energy
Partly adjustable fasting - a wonderful remedy for gluttony. Of course, there is nothing fatal, if you love enough to eat, but the fact remains that overeating on a regular basis does create an extra burden on the body. Then your body suffers.
How to get yourself forced to do this, as it turned out, useful work? Here are some ideas to start:
Add the raw food in your diet (fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts); to try the so-called "monopitanie" - eating just one product; drinking a smoothie only green vegetables; to eat only fresh salads; to drink fruit or vegetable fresh juices; to try to dine early and to abstain from food for 16 hours before the next breakfast.
Amaze your friends the news, suddenly they too will want to cleanse the body of excess!
