The effectiveness of intermittent fasting in the health of the organism

    




Almost everything we hear about healthy food, tells us that Breakfast should not be skipped in any case. Many studies have shown that starting the day with a nutritious Breakfast is good for health: reducing the risk of developing diabetes and heart disease, improve cognitive functions and to maintain weight. With such old and well-founded recommendations that promote Breakfast as the most important meal of the day, it's crazy to assume that removing him from the picture completely, can provide the same health benefits? Proponents of intermittent fasting believe it was, and while studies of this method of the diet is still immature, some studies have shown that it can be an effective way to improve health and fitness.





Although usually called the intermittent fasting diet, in fact it is not about reducing calories and more about optimizing the timing of the meal. Essentially, you eat normal amount of food each day, only within a smaller time interval than those that are considered typical. The goal is to maintain "fasting", which will encourage your body to use stored fat as an energy source and not glucose from a recently consumed food. There are several different ways of applications but the most common method is the daily cycle, which lasts for 16 hours of fasting and 8-hour "feeding".





For many who adhered to this diet, which meant fasting from 8 PM to 12 PM the next day (basically skipping Breakfast) and eat all of their allocated calories during the remaining 8 hours a day. The idea stems from the same theory, which speaks in favor after a "Paleo"diet, which claims that optimal health can be achieved with the food, which is like the food of our ancestors. Ultimately, the goal is to teach the body more efficient use of fuel. In conjunction with healthy sleep habits, regular exercise and consumption of nutritious, whole foods, and many people have found that it is an effective way to reduce the fat content in the body. In addition, several studies have confirmed its effectiveness as a method for weight loss and some others suggest that it may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer and improve insulin resistance. Intermittent fasting can be useful for fit people and people who want to lose weight without following a conventional diet.
