Intermittent fasting offers several potential health benefits, including weight loss, improved heart health, and enhanced metabolic function. It helps reduce insulin resistance, which is a key factor in preventing type 2 diabetes, and can lead to lower blood sugar levels [2][4][5]. Additionally, fasting may promote autophagy, a process that recycles damaged cells, potentially lowering the risk of diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's [1][3][4].

Fasting may also improve brain function, increase the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and support muscle growth while promoting fat loss [3][5][6]. Overall, intermittent fasting is associated with various positive changes in hormones, cellular repair, and gene expression that contribute to overall health and longevity [4][5].
