The Benefits

After the 5:2 diet was aired on BBC’s 'Eat Fast and Live Longer' documentary presented by the well known journalist and physician Dr Michael Mosel there followed an explosion of information and books available for us to read.

However, Intermittent Fasting is nothing new and humans have fasted for most of history. Whether it’s during a typical overnight period, whilst sleeping, during extended periods of food scarcity, or for religious reasons. For example Ramadan when fasting occurs from sunrise to sunset.

What is new is that clinical research on IF’s (Intermittent Fasting) shows benefits for health and longevity is beginning to catch up.

Recent data is reported to show that when IF is done properly it may help extend life, is beneficial in combating some age related health problems, regulates blood glucose, controls blood lipids, manages body weight, gains (or maintain) lean mass, and more. The proposed benefits of IF in animals and humans reads like a laundry list of “look better,” “feel better,” “live longer” physiological changes.
