Recently, media called ‘Life Hack’ has

Thus from now on, I will introduce you
about the 9 effects of intermittent fasting that we didn’t know.
1. Helps to reduce weight
Fasting is safe and effective method to
lose weight. According to various researches, it is possible to burn fat cells
effectively if you can fast regularly.
Fasting leads to the consumption of fats as
the first priority, for our body’s energy use.
Thus many athletes fast to reduce their body fat percentage before
their competition.
2. Prevents skin trouble formation
According to a research, one day of fasting
resulted detoxification of our body while improving on organ function including
liver and kidney.
Additionally, fasting can free our body
from the stress of digesting.
Thus you don’t have to worry about getting
skin troubles from toxin or stress.
You could also use the energy allocated for
digestion to skin regeneration instead.
3. Leads to longevity
Various researches had proved that one’s
life expectancy increases when he/she eats less.
Aging leads to the decline of metabolism.
However eating less leads to effective and
fast metabolism by helping our digestive organs.
4. Leads to self-enrichment
You can use more energy throughout the day
if your digestive organs are in the status of gastric emptying because
digestive organs use the most amount of energy out of all organs in our body.

5. Reduces the risk of getting diabetes
Fasting increases on insulin sensitivity
which is effective for diabetes prevention.
Insulin sensitivity describes how sensitive
the body is to the effects of insulin. Someone said to be insulin sensitive
will require smaller amounts of insulin to lower blood glucose levels than someone
who has low sensitivity, and diabetes patients usually have low insulin
sensitivity.
Thus if you have high insulin sensitivity,
the chance of getting diabetes mellitus type 2 decreases.
6. Increases metabolism speed
Intermittent fasting activates one’s
metabolism by allowing effective consumption of calories.
While you are fasting, your digestive
organs can have a rest which means that you can use that energy to burn fats.
