Exploring the Impact of Intermittent Fasting on Metabolic Health in Adults
Abstract
The 16:8 technique, the 5:2 diet, and alternate-day fasting are all examples of popular protocols that fall under the classification of intermittent fasting (IF), which is a regulated dietary plan that involves alternating periods of fasting and eating. Within the scope of this study, the physiological, metabolic, and psychological effects of intermittent fasting (IF) are investigated. Particular attention is paid to the role that IF plays in enhancing metabolic health, cognitive function, and lowering the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular problems, and neurodegenerative disorders. Additionally, intermittent fasting (IF) helps to manage blood glucose levels, lowers oxidative stress, and promotes intestinal health, all of which contribute to an overall improvement in well-being. In spite of this, intermittent fasting (IF) is not uniformly helpful and there are hazards associated with it, particularly for people who have type 1 diabetes, eating disorders, immune systems that are weakened, or nutritional deficiencies. The efficacy of this treatment in certain circumstances, such as cancer therapy, is also being called into doubt by novel research, which also raises concerns about decreased bone density. This analysis highlights the importance of tailored fasting regimes that are overseen by healthcare professionals in order to reap the greatest possible benefits while also minimizing any potential hazards.
