A number of studies have suggested intermittent fasting has numerous health benefits, including weight loss, lower blood pressure and reduced cholesterol.
 
When the body has used up glucose stores during fasting, it burns fat for energy, resulting in weight loss.
 
In recent years, numerous studies have suggested that intermittent fasting - abstaining or reducing food and drink intake periodically - can be good for us, making it one of the most popular diet trends worldwide.

"Studies of intermittent fasting show that not only do people see improvements in blood pressure and theircholesterol levels, but also in their insulin sensitivity

Since the body is unable to get its energy from food during fasting, it dips into glucose that is stored in the liver and muscles. This begins around 8 hours after the last meal is consumed.

When the stored glucose has been used up, the body then begins to burn fat as a source of energy, which can result in weight loss.
 
"A detoxification process also occurs, because any toxins stored in the body's fat are dissolved and removed from the body,"
With the potential health benefits of fasting widely hailed by nutritionists worldwide, it is no wonder many of us are putting our love of food to one side in order to give it a try.

But intermittent fasting isn't all bells and whistles, according to some researchers and health care professionals, and there are some people who should avoid  fasting  altogether. If there is any medical  restriction please avoid fasting .And for normal people too whenever you go fasting listen to your body call, if its not allowing you to fast with signals like head ache stomach burn, and fatigue, please stop fasting and eat. Nothing is fixed in health issues every body has different so think before fasting.

Happy Fasting!!!
