Intermittent Fasting means Health, Anti-aging and Longevity

"Starving Every Other Day Can Make You Live Longer."

Intermittent fasting is the pattern of eating alternate days or between periods of fasting and usually means the consumption of water only. It is a process of testing on a semi-regular basis and it has been dominant in almost all the religions, which has its own implications in the spiritual context. One or the other, people have been connected to fasting, either spiritually or for physical health. The general view is that it is dietary control, but the other side of the coin is still unfamiliar to many.

The alternate day fast helps you lose weight while also delaying age-related disease, increasing brain power, and controlling your life span.

Findings in different research also indicated the lower risk of chronic diseases, Type II diabetics, cardiovascular disease, and cancer risk reduction. 

"Starving every other day can make you live longer." -American government scientist says.

The combination of Intermittent Fasting and high-intensity exercise allows hormones that improve tissue healing and metabolic process to be released.




Advantages of Alternate-Day Fasting:

Alternate-day fasting has many positive effects; it burns more fat, which leads to faster weight loss. It also enhances the increase in cell resistance, improving immunity. The increase in cell resistance also improves inflammation, which brings healing, recovery, and repair. As it has an increase in insulin sensitivity, it controls blood level, energy level and also mood thereby. It also supported lowering stress levels.


Diet Experiment Fact:

An experiment was conducted at the National Institute of Aging (NIA)-

"Animals given the minimum amount of calories must maintain their health. The experiment showed that -Life can be twice long when such a type of diet are taken it protects the heart, circulatory system, brain against anti-aging diseases and also from Alzheimer's disease.

Research showed-"Dietary restrictions extend lifespan protecting the brain, cardiovascular system against age-related disease," said Mark Mattson, head( Laboratory of Neurosciences and professor Neuroscience at John Hopkins University, Baltimore).

According to Mattson, "We have found that dietary restriction, particularly when administered in an intermittent bout, activates cellular stress response pathways in neurons." Such responses help rejuvenate the brain and boost the cognitive process and intelligence. "


Research Findings:

Experimentation was done on mice fed alternate days, and the other mice fed daily and observed.

The findings of Mattson and his subordinates were -"Diet-based fasting delays age-related disease."

Findings also show Intermittent retention of higher insulin sensitivity (the hormone that regulates the system level in the blood after a meal).Intermittent feeding showed improved resistance to a neurotoxin that stimulates Alzheimer's disease.

Calorie-restricted diets appeared to improve synaptic function in the brain.The function between brain cells promotes the generation of new cells and thus stress resistance. Research also indicated the improvement of memories in older people. Restrictive energy intake appeared to occupy the genes that promote aging and switch on genes that slow aging down.


Alternate Day Fasting & Chronic Disease Prevention: 

A review of human and animal trials by Krista A Varody and Marc K Hellerstern.

Both alternate day fasting (ADF) and calorie-restrictive dieting (CR) inhibited the risk reduction phenomenon. The research findings revealed: risk reduction in chronic diseases such as type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.

Animal studies showed ADF.

diabetic, incidentally, lower fasting glucose and insulin concentrations

Human trials showed-

High insulin, medicated glucose uptake but no effect on fast glucose in insulin concentrations. In humans, higher HDL cholesterol concentrations and lower triacylycerol concentrations had no effect on blood pressure.

In human cancer risk, no evidence has been shown till now, but evidence in animal studies suggests a protective effect on cancer risk.

Alkaline Foods: The Key to Vibrant Health In the quest for optimal wellness, the balance between acidity and alkalinity within our bodies plays a crucial role. This balance is influenced significantly by our dietary choices. Alkaline foods, which help maintain a healthy pH level in our bloodstream, are essential for promoting vitality and preventing diseases. Understanding pH Balance O ur body’s pH level, which stands for ‘potential of hydrogen’ , is a measure of how acidic or alkaline our blood is on a scale that ranges from 0 to 14. A pH level below 7 is considered acidic, above 7 is alkaline, and exactly 7 is neutral. The ideal pH level for our blood is slightly alkaline, around 7.35 1 . This is why Alkaline Foods Matter An alkaline diet is not a new concept but has gained more attention as people seek ways to combat modern lifestyle diseases. The foods we consume can leave an ‘ash’ residue after digestion, which can be acidic, alkaline, or neutral. This residue affects our body’s p...

Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a critical role in numerous bodily functions. Our Sleep also get disrupted by its insufficiency ,so as our Heart Pupitation and Bowl movement is also hinderd. One of the key roles of magnesium is its involvement in energy production. Magnesium is also important for maintaining healthy bone density. This mineral helps to regulate calcium levels in the body, which is essential for bone health and strength. This mineral is so much essential to our body even a small shortfall can upset the imbalance of our bodily functions. In other words this is a key player in our body.   Deficiency has been linked to an increased risk of Health : - Osteoporosis Magnesium deficiency also affect other bone-related conditions and its presence preserve bone   and tooth strength. - Muscle function and nerve transmission This mineral is required for proper muscle contraction and relaxation, as well as for the transmission of signals between ner...

From the east to the west, tea became popular to serve as a drink. Tea has been a refreshing drink without knowing its benefits and harms. Tea leaves contain a high level of antioxidants, which distinguishes them from common beverages. This rich level of antioxidants reduces the risk of different diseases in human bodies. Beauty Treatment with Tea: Tea leaves is considered a fat-reducing agent and is high in antioxidant properties. Tea leaves is also used in beauty treatments. In the market, anti-oxidant beauty products have gained entry, which are enriched in one of their ingredients, tea. For women, beauty packs, beauty masks, face-washe...
