1. Reduces Inflammation

Chronic low-grade inflammation is detrimental to nearly every aspect of health. The anti-inflammatory effect of intermittent fasting is multifactorial. It lowers inflammatory cytokines, reduces oxidative stress, stabilizes blood sugar, and resolves obesity.

Inflammation stemming from excess visceral fat and high blood glucose is extinguished through intermittent fasting 23/1. Even just 4 days of intermittent fasting each month combats systemic inflammation. This helps prevent chronic disease and age-related decline.

Multiple markers of inflammation are reduced through daily intermittent fasting. Conditions caused or exacerbated by inflammation – like arthritis, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease – often improve with an intermittent fasting protocol.
