Do you want a perfect Intermittent Fasting Guide?
Intermittent fasting involves alternating cycles of eating and fasting, which may range anywhere from a couple of hours to several days per cycle. In a sense, intermittent fasting - or IF, as it's popularly called by those who are supposedly "in the know" - may be considered as a time-restricted eating regimen because, in most of the popular versions or protocols of IF, intermittent fasters get to eat every day, albeit within a specific and limited window of time only. Compared to "regular" eating, where food is eaten throughout different times of the day, people who fast intermittently only get to eat within a specific number of hours during the day and for the most part of the remaining 24 hours, they fast. The length of the daily fast and the time of the day and night in which eating is allowed will depend on the IF variety or protocol chosen.

Why Fast Intermittently?
The reason why more and more people are swearing by intermittent fasting is the numerous health benefits they claim to have enjoyed when they started fasting intermittently. So, if you wonder why you should fast intermittently, here are some very good reasons that many IF loyalists swear by.
Improved Blood Sugar Levels
In several studies, it was found that fasting could help improve a person's blood sugar levels, which can be a very crucial benefit for you if you're diabetic or at serious risk of diabetes. In one of the conducted studies on IF, it was found that short-term intermittent fasting helped in significantly bringing down the blood sugar levels of its Type-2 diabetic subjects. In another study, it was found that intermittent fasting could help improve insulin resistance as much as a limited calorie diet. When it comes to lowering risks of diabetes, improving the body's sensitivity to insulin is a very crucial component.
Reduced Inflammation
Chronic inflammation is a very serious health risk. In studies, it has been shown to contribute significantly in the development of serious chronic medical conditions such as arthritis, cancer and heart problems.
Better Heart Health
No doubt about it, heart diseases are some of the world's most sinister killers. How sinister? Heart diseases account for close to 1/3 of deaths all over the world. A key aspect of lowering risks of heart problems is diet.
