Intermittent fasting has multiple benefits. Because what it does when you fast, you don't eat. Between 12 to 16 hours, your cells undergo actually a small amount of stress. And this stress makes your cells respond adaptively. And then it enhances its ability to cope with stress and maybe even resist disease. And the cells start to initiate a repair process and actually change the expression of the gene in the cell. So when it's repairing itself, it cleans itself up. And studies have shown that fasting improve your insulin level resistance and it effective in controlling your blood sugar. It even lower your insulin level, it decreases inflammation, and several study has suggested even a decrease in cancer.
