The Impact of Intermittent Fasting on Health
Intermittent fasting presents significant health benefits by improving energy levels and mood while helping to regulate hunger. Research from a large study revealed that individuals who limited their eating window lost an average of 1.1 kilograms and experienced a 22% increase in energy levels and an 11% improvement in mood. Interestingly, those who adhered to this fasting regimen reported feeling less hungry compared to their previous eating habits. This counters the common belief that restricting one's eating timeframe would naturally lead to increased hunger and discomfort.
