BENEFITS OF FASTING
1. IMPROVES BLOOD PRESSURE AND CHOLESTEROL LEVEL: according to Medicalnewstoday , Studies of intermittent fasting show that not only do people see improvements in blood pressure and their cholesterol levels, but also in their insulin sensitivity.
2. REJUVENATES THE IMMUNE SYSTEM: in a research conducted by Dr. Valter Longo and colleagues from the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles, found longer periods of fasting - 2-4 days - may even "reboot" the immune system, clearing out old immune cells and regenerating new ones - a process they say could protect against cell damage caused by factors such as aging and chemotherapy.
this also helps to regenerate immune cells. What is more, the team found that cancer patients who fasted for 3 days prior to chemotherapy were protected against immune system damage that can be caused by the treatment, which they attribute to immune cell regeneration.
3. WEIGHT MAINTENANCE: during fasting, the body is unable to get any energy from food, in light of this, the body will begin to source for glucose from another part of the body namely: the Liver and the muscles. Also when these source of glucose is used up,
the body will begin to burn fat which can eventually lead to weight loss.
4. PRESERVATION OF MUSCLES: The process described in point 3 above also help in the preservation of muscles
5. DETOXIFICATION: When fat is burnt during fasting, the toxins stored in the body fat will be removed
6. MENTAL WELL-BEING: during a Prolonged fasting (2-4days), endorphin , the "feel great hormones"
are produced in the blood. any amount of this hormone in the body system can have a positive and great impact on mental well-being.
