Researchers have found that fasting on a regular basis is good for your health, and if you do not eat anything for only 1 or 2 days a week, eating normally on other days has health benefits.
According to researchers this type of fasting helps to lose weight, decreases the risk of diabetes, Alzheimer's, heart disease, dementia, protects against various types of cancer and improves the quality of life of the individual.
On fast days you can drink water and eat some vegetables, but nothing more than that, and in the days that follow you can eat everything, but in moderation, avoiding sweets, fats and processed foods, to get the results expected.
Eating a lot of food day after day in addition to getting fat causes a type of inflammation in the body that generates various diseases and adopting this type of diet can be very beneficial to health, especially to the brain.
Researchers believe that this food restriction favors the entire body's functioning because it makes it more sensitive to hormonal changes and is very beneficial for insulin control and other chemical reactions. However, they caution that more scientific research should be done to prove the benefits of this type of fasting in periods longer than 6 consecutive months.
