DON'T FORGET TO FAST TOMORROW!

"Secret of living longer is to fast twice a week." (Daily Fail, I mean Mail)😉😅

"FASTING twice a week could be the key to a longer life by slashing the risk of a host of killer diseases."

"Research shows dramatically cutting the amount of calories you eat for two days can keep obesity, heart disease and diabetes at bay."

"The scientific review suggests fasting diets may help those with diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

A review published in the British Journal of Diabetes and Vascular Disease by a team led by James Brown from Aston University in the West Midlands highlights evidence from clinical trials which shows fasting can limit inflammation, improve levels of sugars and fats in your circulation and cut blood pressure. By fasting, the body is more efficient in selecting which fuel to burn, improving metabolism."

"Scientists have known since the 1940s that intermittent fasting can cut the incidence of diabetes after trials on animals.

But recent studies have also confirmed that cutting calorie intake could reverse Type 2 diabetes in some people. It could also help fight conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers measured improved pancreatic function and found fewer fatty deposits associated with insulin resistance present in those fasting."

"Scientists say it has some cardiovascular benefits that appear similar to exercising, such as improving blood pressure and heart rate and lowering cholesterol."
