What is intermittent fasting?
Intermittent fasting is the process of fasting for an extended period of time between two meals. Studies have shown that this practice improves metabolism. Notably, fasting as a practice exists in many religions, including Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity.
During fasting, the blood insulin level drops, and this helps in burning fat. The practice also helps in boosting the human growth hormone level, restricts calorie intake, and aids in cellular repair.
