INTERMITTENT FASTING IS ASSOCIATED WITH MANY HEALTH BENEFITS

Intermittent fasting is associated with many health benefits. I have seen many of my clients improve their symptoms during a fast. Fasting has been shown to improves Multiple Sclerosis(M.S) symptoms in animals. The good news is that the benefits of fasting is not limited to Multiple Sclerosis. Autoimmune diseases and Chronic degenerative diseases of all kinds can improve.
 
 
FASTING CAN IMPROVE MANY BIOMARKERS OF HEALTH
 
Fasting may help normalize insulin, leptin (satiety hormone), and ghrelin (hunger hormone) levels.
It can lower triglyceride levels, reduce oxidative stress, and initiate human growth hormone production which is necessary for building new cells.
