Intermittent fasting is when you have a certain span of hours in a day or days during your week when you do not eat when you fast. And there are several different categories or schedules for intermittent fasting. Types of Intermittent Fasting Time-Restricted Eating You can do daily, time-restricted eating. That is when, for each day, there are a certain number of hours where you fast and a certain number of hours where you restrict yourself to eating only within that time. And there are different schedules for that. 16/8 Fasting Schedule You can choose a 16/8 schedule, where you fast for 16 hours, no food at all, and for eight hours you eat. So for example, on each day, you may choose to fast for 16 hours, but then from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, during that eight-hour span, you will allow yourself to eat during that time, and that time only. 18/6 Fasting Schedule If you choose an 18/6 schedule, you may fast for 18 hours. And then for just six hours a day, within that time only you will eat, say from noon until 6:00 PM. This is the daily time-restricted eating. Health Benefits Of Intermittent Fasting So what are some of the other health benefits beyond weight loss of intermittent fasting? Well, the New England Journal Of Medicine also published a review of multiple studies on intermittent fasting. And according to these studies, many of them were small studies, and some of these studies actually were with animal models, like rats, but some of the potential benefits of intermittent fasting that were found include: An improvement in inflammation in the body An improvement in blood pressure Improvement in blood sugar regulation Decrease in cholesterol or lipid levels Improved memory So now that we've answered the question is intermittent fasting healthy?
