Benefits of Water-Only Fasting
Water-only fasting has been shown to have numerous benefits. One of the main benefits is its ability to reverse and normalize blood pressure. Studies have demonstrated that medically supervised water-only fasting can help lower blood pressure to the point where medications are no longer needed. Additionally, water-only fasting is an efficient way to undo the consequences of dietary excess, such as weight gain and visceral fat accumulation. During fasting, the body can rapidly mobilize and eliminate stored fat, including visceral fat, which is associated with various health risks. However, it is important to transition to a health-promoting diet after fasting in order to sustain the results.
