Intermittent fasting

By

We know that calorie restriction is an effective method to live longer and better. The challenge with this is that humans cannot tolerate going hungry all the time. Our society and culture are also designed so that food and social gatherings around food are an important and central part of our lives.

So, what else can we do? How can we manage to limit our intake of food over time, avoid malnutrition and not feel hungry all the time?

Studies on fasting have shown promising results for a variety of diseases and health conditions. These include obesity, high and unstable blood sugar, and high blood pressure. By limiting the eating window, for example by not eating after 6 p.m. and not before 10 a.m., we have won a lot. The body has then been given peace and time to repair itself, and the opportunity to dispose itself of garbage. This process is referred to as cellular aging and is important for the body to function and stay as young as possible even though we are getting older. Through a limited eating window, the body is able to use some of the accumulated energy (in the liver and muscles), and this is healthy for, among other things, preventing fatty liver (accumulation of fat in the liver that in turn can affect the liver’s many and important functions in the body) and in general, prevent obesity. By using the body’s own stores, we also help the body to stabilize blood sugar, which in turn has an impact on, for instant, hidden inflammation in the body and the development of metabolic syndrome (visceral fat, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, leptin resistance). We also become less angry and irritated when we don’t eat all the time (our blood sugar doesn’t go up and down all the time), and we notice that we can go longer without food without any stress. This gets your mind in a good place.

Every time we eat, some of the food is used for immediate energy. For example, if we go for a walk, play with the children in the garden right after we have eaten dinner, some of the energy from dinner is used for these activities. The body then also receives signals that the energy should be used and not stored If, on the other hand, we sit down directly on the sofa, we give the body signals that energy should be saved, and the body will then store the energy for later. This in turn builds up our fat reserves and our body become less sensitive to insulin because most of the sugar in the body must be stored rather than used. . If we continuously eat our way throughout the day, for example 3-4 meals, as well as snacks, the body must work continuously to clear away the energy that is not used immediately. If we in addition have a sedentary lifestyle, it becomes even harder to keep the weight where we want it to be. Through our way of living, we continuously build up our stores, and the body never gets access to the fat reserves in the body. The body never gets rest or the opportunity to repair itself, except at night when we sleep (provided we don’t work shifts and eat at night). Over time, this results in weight gain and weight reduction becomes increasingly difficult The body must store energy continuously. There are no periods with less food where the body naturally can use of its one stores The body will continuously have to produce and release insulin, which stresses the body and contributes to this hidden inflammatory state in the body over time. The cells in the body eventually get tired from storing the sugar, and this storage can become less efficient, which means that we eventually have problems with blood sugar constantly being elevated and the body trying to store the energy in places that are less favorable (for example, in the blood vessel walls). It doesn’t matter if we are slim and seemingly look healthy (the fat may be stored around and within the organs). ). Insulin, regardless of body and state of health, is a hormone that promotes inflammation, and over time this hormone can create various problems in the body. By not eating in the evening, postponing the first meal, over time we will achieve weight reduction. It can also be important to have elements of longer fasts, to give the body the necessary stress so that metabolism and energy expenditure do not adjust to the “new normal”. A shorter eating window, as well as an increased focus on unprocessed foods, will give results. We feel less hungry, and the focus is on getting the right food when we eat. All of these factors contribute to a feeling of wellbeing, fullness and incredible results looking in the mirror.

So, with a shorter eating window, elements of days where we only drink water, sparkling water like “Farris” and coffee, the body will excess its own hidden energy sources. This gives people increased control over their own health situation and quality of life, regardless of socioeconomic status. Fasting is also the most powerful tool we know of today when it comes to anti-aging and cellular aging. Completely without side effects
