Feature Article: Intermittent Fasting and Human Metabolic Health by Patterson et al. - an Overview

by Co Chocolat
intermittient fasting or no food for health

Part of the conclusion states, “this overview suggests that intermittent fasting regimens may be a promising approach to lose weight and improve metabolic health for people who can tolerate intervals of not eating, or eating very little, for certain hours of the day or days of the week. If proven to be efficacious, these eating regimens may offer promising nonpharmacologic approaches to improving health at the population level with multiple public health benefits.”
