Intermittent Fasting for Women's Health

Intermittent fasting is popular, but research shows that women may need to be cautious. Fasting beyond 12 hours can lead to fertility hormone downregulation, impacting libido, skin, hair, and cholesterol levels. It's advised for women to limit daily fasting to 10-12 hours, while engaging in longer 24-hour fasts a couple of times a month for longevity benefits.
