Study: Fasting for 14 hours a day can help you lose weight.

Original title: Research shows that fasting 14 hours a day can help you lose weight
Foreign media say there are a number of dietary recommendations designed to help patients with metabolic syndrome that can eventually lead to diabetes, often with high blood sugar, high blood pressure, low cholesterol, high triglycerides and excessive abdominal fat. However, some suggestions can also apply to anyone who wants to lose weight. Because some options are basically simple, such as limiting food intake to 10 hours and then fasting for the next 14 hours.
According to Argentina's Buenos Aires Economic News Network reported on December 11th, in recent years, many people are very much respected for the so-called intermittent "valley", some people eat only one meal a day, some people do not even eat solid food for a few days. A new study has found an easier way for people to practice fasting for 14 hours a day. "We observed a 3% weight loss and a 4% reduction in abdominal fat." Pam Taub, a professor at California State University's San Diego School of Medicine, said.
, for example, if you have breakfast at 8 a.m., don't eat anything after 6 p.m. If you want to have dinner later, you can only postpone breakfast. The only thing to follow in this diet is to concentrate all your diet on 10 hours and stop eating calories for the remaining 14 hours. The only water that is allowed (and actually recommended) is water to keep the body healthy.
"We don't ask people to change their diet. Taub pointed out. However, by adjusting the diet schedule, changes have taken place. Study participants (19 people, including 13 men and 6 women) spontaneously reduced their calorie intake by 8.6 percent. In addition, the researchers observed improved cholesterol levels and blood pressure levels in the participants. Some participants also said they had improved their sleep and fitness.
s surprised that small changes in mealtimes can bring such great benefits," said Sachidananda Panda, a professor at the Salk Institute of Biology in Thessolk, who co-edited the study. He points out that the adjusted diet schedule allows the body to rest and recover within up to 14 hours, while improving metabolism.
Emily Manujean, another expert on the study, said: "We wanted to see if supporting circadian rhythms by controlling dietary intake time could help improve the health of people already treated for heart metabolic diseases. "During a 14-hour fast, people start consuming glucose reserves and then start using fat as a source of energy, which is why weight is gradually dropping.
, the benefits of intermittent fasting provide preliminary evidence and further research is needed to see if such an approach can bring other benefits. Taub believes that during fasting, metabolic organs get the rest they deserve. "When we keep giving the body heat, we force the cells to keep working. Just as sleep refreshes the brain and body, fasting also provides an opportunity to update the metabolic system. He pointed out.
