Reduction of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation
Oxidation stress is responsible for aging and many chronic diseases (10). Free radicals damage all cell parts, including DNA, proteins, and lipids (11).
Intermittent fasting improves the body’s resistance to oxidative stress (12, 13).
In addition, intermittent fasting also reduces inflammation, which often forms the origin of many chronic diseases (14, 15, 16).
