Intermittent fasting Intermittent fasting is one of the most common health and fitness trends in the world right now. It's becoming popular for one reason, according to a well-known research magazine: it works. Whether you're trying to lose weight or boost your biomarkers for better health, intermittent fasting is a cost-effective way to do both. Fasting isn't about depriving yourself of food; it's more of an eating habit than a diet. It entails fasting and eating periods that alternate. It's an extremely successful therapeutic strategy that delivers amazing results regardless of diet plan when performed correctly. If you're having trouble with your fitness, weight, or a chronic illness, I am persuaded that this is the most effective intervention available. ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DIET What exactly does an anti-inflammatory diet do? Your immune system starts acting against any substance, which it thinks is foreign. In most cases, it is an invading microbe, plant pollen or rogue chemical. That leads to a process called inflammation. In the right situations, this process looks after your health. But sometimes, one's immune system might not be up to the mark. That is when inflammation persists, day in and day out. It is activated even at times when there your body isn't facing any external threat from a foreign invader. That is when inflammation can prove to be bad for your health. Chronic inflammation can lead to many diseases of epidemic proportions such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression, and Alzheimer's. Now you might be asking if chronic inflammation is such a prevalent and dangerous thing, why is there no medical remedy for it? There is indeed a remedy for chronic inflammation. But it is not available at a pharmacy. Instead, you can find the right tools to combat inflammation at your nearest grocery store. There are many experiments and studies which indicate that some particular components of food and beverages may possess specific anti-inflammatory effects. If you choose the right anti-inflammatory food to incorporate into your diet, you might be able to reduce your risk of illness. That comes with a risky gamble, however. If you consistently pick the wrong ingredients for your food, you can even accelerate the painful process of your inflammatory disease.
