Long Term Health Benefits
While the immediate results (weight loss, cleansed body, increased energy…) are well worth the effort, there are potential long-term benefits as well. Studies show that by practicing intermittent fasting you can “help regulate blood sugar, possibly prevent diabetes, slow the aging process, and prevent or minimize risk of heart disease.” Beyond that, reports suggest “decreasing calorie consumption by 30 to 40 percent (regardless of how it’s done) can extend life span by a third or more.”
