American scientists have talked about the benefits of intermittent fasting.
They noted that there is a link between diet not only with obesity, but also with diabetes.
The corresponding findings were published in Nutrients .
Research has shown that eating three meals a day and snacking is what can lead to weight gain and diabetes.
As for intermittent fasting, the essence is in regular and frequent intake of small portions. But at the same time, you cannot eat for about 12-14 hours (and at night). As a result, such a system is able to reduce the level of glucose and insulin. It is believed that such a system reduces the amount of calories consumed by 550 per day.
As doctors explained, intermittent fasting can regulate hormones that are responsible for appetite control and energy levels.
If we talk about other diets, for example, about multi-day fasting, then this type of nutrition brings little benefit to the body.
