As the saying goes: People are iron rice and steel, and they are hungry if they don’t eat for a meal. Only by eating a full meal can you improve nutrition and energy for the body and ensure normal activities of life.
As everyone's health awareness increases, whether to eat enough or not is no longer what everyone cares about. What they care most about now is how to eat healthy. In recent years, light fasting has been well known.
Light fasting does not mean not eating, but just starving properly and eating less food indirectly. Some people say that insisting on light fasting is beneficial to health, so is this statement reasonable?
What benefits will persist in fasting bring to the body?
helps control blood sugar value
Many foods contain more or less sugar. Eating too much sugar will lead to diabetes . High blood sugar will cause disorders in the body's metabolism. Improper blood sugar control may also cause various complications. Choosing appropriate starvation can reduce the body's mental metabolism and help effectively control blood sugar.
can reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines
Appropriate hunger will not only not cause harm to the body, but will also reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines. If you like to eat high-calorie foods, it will cause burden on the stomach and intestines. If you choose appropriate light fasting at this time, it can reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines. It is suitable for people with indigestion.
Lower bad Cholesterol
Appropriate light fasting can reduce bad cholesterol and triglyceride in the body, can also relieve bad emotions, prevent anxiety and depression, and can also effectively prevent fatty liver.
can increase the blood circulation speed
Now many people have severely exceeded the standard of fat and other substances in their bodies, and the problem of obesity has occurred. The blood has become thicker and thicker. Appropriate and light fasting can reduce the body's fat, increase the blood circulation speed, and avoid obesity.
Can fasting restart the human immune system for 2 days? The study published the conclusion that the earlier you understand, the better
This statement is a bit too exaggerated. The reason for this statement is that it originated from a study by the Italian National Cancer Institute. The study found that a simulated fasting diet can improve cancer patients' own metabolism and reduce the number of inhibitory immune cells.
inhibitory immune cells are to reduce the lethality of other immune cells in the body to cancer cells. If the increase in immune cells is inhibited in the body, causing immune cells to be unable to kill cancer cells, the cancer cells will increase and the cancer will become serious.
If the number of inhibitory immune cells can be reduced, it can enhance the lethality of the immune system and help us better fight cancer. Fasting for two days can only make our immune system more active, but it cannot restart the immune system.
And this study has many limitations. If cancer patients fast at will, it will lead to a decrease in immunity and may also aggravate the condition, so cancer patients should not try it casually.
Many people who lose weight in life will try to use fasting to lose weight. Although fasting is beneficial to the body, fasting also has problems.
For example, "health master" Lin Haifeng, he firmly believes that fasting and detoxification are beneficial to health, but the final result is not good. He only lived to be 51 years old. There are some so-called health preservation methods that are wrong. Everyone should take it correctly and not make it wrong.
For example, drinking some wine every day to maintain health and sweat a lot is the body detoxification, believing in the various effects of health products, and taking health products as medicines to treat diseases, these methods do not maintain health. I hope everyone can avoid these health misunderstandings.
It is not difficult to maintain health, such as basking in the sun appropriately, exercising according to your physical condition, maintaining a good mood every day, etc.
Light fasting is not suitable for everyone
Light fasting is not simply hunger, but a way of life that gives us the opportunity to communicate with our bodies. During the process of light fasting, we must maintain a healthy and quiet environment, adjust our emotions and sleep.
Before taking a light fast, you should first understand whether your body is suitable for you. Those who are healthy, have strong muscles, are overweight and have high blood lipids are more suitable for light fasting.
However, for minors, pregnant women, elderly people, patients with chronic diseases and mental disorders, it is not suitable for light fasting, so before deciding to have a light fasting, you should consult a doctor first and do not blindly follow the trend.
In short, don’t blindly fast. You can reasonably limit it according to your own situation. For the elderly, pay attention to getting out of misunderstandings. In addition, people with good immunity should still pay attention to developing good habits and pay attention to physical examinations.
