Understanding Intermittent Fasting Benefits
Intermittent fasting can offer numerous health benefits, such as improved blood sugar control, enhanced heart health, and better mood regulation. The practice allows the body to enter a state of autophagy, which is the process of cellular cleanup, helping to clear out old proteins and support immune function. Engaging in intermittent fasting, especially with a clean fast that includes only plain water, black coffee, or tea, can amplify these effects. By sticking to a clean fast, individuals may experience significant differences in their overall well-being and weight management in comparison to including flavors or additives.
