Intermittent Fasting and Inflammation
- Intermittent fasting's primary benefit is lowering inflammation, not just weight loss or anti-aging.
- Inflammation precedes many diseases, so reducing it is crucial for overall health.
Intermittent Fasting Best Practices
- Aim for 12-16 hours of daily intermittent fasting.
- Prioritize stopping food intake 3-4 hours before sleep over skipping breakfast for better results.
Impact on Inflammatory Markers
- Intermittent fasting modulates pro-inflammatory markers like cytokines (TNF-alpha, interleukin-6, interleukin-1).
- This reduces chronic inflammation, which can cause fatigue, weakness, stiffness, and brain fog.
