9 Researched Benefits of Intermittent Fasting

There are several approaches to intermittent fasting and specific ways to approach it

By Dr. Jingduan Yang

Through intermittent fasting and controlling the intake of calories, the human body can increase the amount and function of stem cells, which are vital to delaying the aging process and reducing inflammation.

What is intermittent fasting? What are the benefits of intermittent fasting? How do we know if we are suitable for doing intermittent fasting?

“Fasting” means not eating or drinking anything that contains calories for a period of time. One can drink water, black coffee, or other calorie-free drinks (though it’s best to avoid artificial sweeteners).

Types of Fasting Methods

Twitter founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey told the press that he eats only one meal a day, between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m., which consists of proteins and vegetables. Fasting helped him feel more focused and able to devote more attention to everyday life.

Skipping breakfast and lunch, Dorsey said he gained more time to focus on important things. This intermittent fasting method is known as “samurai fasting,” or OMAD (one meal a day). In ancient times, samurais didn’t eat three meals a day but had one huge dinner instead. This method has people drink only water, black coffee, and low-calorie beverages within a 20-hour period, and consume high-calorie food within the remaining four-hour window of the day.

However, the evening may not be the healthiest time to have a huge meal, according to some.

Chris Pratt, star of “Guardians of the Galaxy,” told his fans that intermittent fasting is a “must try.” Pratt claims that fasting helped him play the superhero roles well in his movies. He said he usually drinks coffee and exercises before noon and doesn’t eat anything after 8 p.m. His intermittent fasting method is called 16/8 intermittent fasting or “time-restricted eating.” This method involves limiting the intake of foods and beverages to a set window of eight hours per day. Some suggest that 18 hours of fasting, rather than 16 hours, produces a better result.
