Hey there! ๐โโ๏ธ
ย
Your girl needs to lose weight---๐ I have events to go to at the end of the year and just generally feel that I have to health-wise, you know? ๐ And as Iโm sure everyone does, I get swept up by fitness coaches and gurus online and get bombarded by information on HOW I should the lose weight and immediately get disheartened and try again tomorrow. Repeat this cycle 500x and you get me right now. ๐ But! I found myself on the intermittent fasting gurus section of the TikTok algorithm andโฆit made so much sense? ๐ก It was a complete Aha! Moment for me that I set out researching about it. And ofc ofc Iโm here to share! ๐
ย
As I explored the world of fasting, for my quest to shed these extra kilos, I uncovered a wealth of information that left me both intrigued and motivated. Itโs not just kilos I would shed but it brings a myriad of other health benefits too? Whut. ๐คฏ This is because fasting, I discovered, is not just a trendy practice; it's a time-honored tradition with roots in various cultures and religions, offering a multitude of benefits beyond just weight loss. ๐
ย
I also found that fasting isn't a one-size-fits-all approach; rather, it encompasses a spectrum of methods, from water fasting to intermittent fasting, each with its unique set of advantages. We should delve deeper into this soon too! ๐ค
ย
One very significant benefit I unearthed is its impact on blood sugar control! ๐คฉ By reducing insulin resistance, fasting can help regulate blood sugar levels, which is particularly beneficial for those at risk of diabetes.
ย
It also has shown promise in combating inflammation! a key player in chronic diseases like heart disease. By reducing markers of inflammation, fasting may contribute to overall better health. On heart health too is that fasting has been linked to improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and triglycerides, all of which are crucial for cardiovascular well-being. ๐
ย
But the benefits don't stop there. Fasting has been found to boost brain function and may even protect against neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson'sโฆ I meeeean, could the benefits on this be any more good? The icing on the cake of course is my original purpose of its role in weight loss. ๐โโ๏ธ By limiting calorie intake and boosting metabolism, fasting can aid in shedding excess pounds and reducing body fat which I really really really like. I wanna wear anything and it just automatically look good on me, you know? ๐ It also triggers the secretion of growth hormone, which is essential for metabolism, weight loss, and muscle strength. ๐ช
ย
On a more profound level though, fasting may extend longevity by delaying aging processes and increasing resilience against age-related diseases. ๐ต A lot of gurus and doctors online say that itโs because it mimics how our ancestors ate where they fast when thereโs no food and feast when thereโs newly caught game. Which you know, completely makes sense? ๐ง
ย
But before diving into fasting dear reader, it's crucial to approach it with caution. โ ๏ธ Safety measures should be taken, especially for individuals with underlying health conditions, so getting the advice of your medical doctor is always a must before starting! ๐ฉโโ๏ธ
ย
Ultimately, incorporating fasting into a balanced lifestyle, coupled with a nutritious diet and regular exercise, could yield remarkable health benefits. As I embark on this journey, armed with newfound knowledge and determination, I'm excited to explore the transformative potential of fasting and discover its impact on my own well-being. Iโll incorporate my supplementation of โจOleia Softgelsโจto combat inflammation more! This is so exciting! ๐คฉ Let me know if you try it, yeah? ๐
ย
Show me your bottle and Iโll show you mine? โTil next time! ๐
