Final thoughts on the benefits of intermittent fasting

Fasting isn’t new. It’s been around for centuries. The many benefits of fasting have caught the attention of researchers today. They say that besides losing weight, fasting helps you lose stored belly fat, live longer, lower your risk of heart disease and improve your brain function. What’s not to like about these things? Of course, when you choose intermittent fasting, it’s not a license to eat junk food during designated hours. You still need to eat a healthy diet and stay physically active.
