INTERMITTENT FASTING

  Intermittent Fasting (IF) is a simple dietary strategy that can help you lose belly fat, gain lean mass, and improve the overall health for your body and brain. IF is about the timing of how you eat, not what you eat. IF involves eating within a certain time period and then fasting for a certain time period.  The benefits also include decreased insulin levels, and increased growth hormone levels which can lead to fat loss and muscle gain. IF has been shown to reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia,  alzheimers disease, and slow the cellular ageing process. Studies with rats have shown that IF can dramatically increase your lifespan. In a nutshell IF can improve your quality of life and increase your longevity.

  There are several ways to incorporate IF into your lifestyle.
