A new study has shown that a nutritional strategy can not only lose weight, but also prolong life.

For example, the 6: 1, 6: 2 diet patterns (not eating 1 or 2 days a week), or 8:16, 10:14, 12:12 when you don’t eat from 16 to 12 hours a day, Over a longer period of time it can cause other adaptation and health effects to complete.

A completely new study that used a 10:14 model for 30 days (without eating for 14 hours a day) revealed several important mechanisms that prolong people’s lives:

• The fasting strategy stimulates serum proteomes that protect against cancer.

• It acts on the proteins of the body to protect against obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

• Stimulates the key proteins in DNA repair and the immune system.

• Stimulates body proteins to protect against Alzheimer’s disease and other neuropsychiatric disorders.

So, the next time you repeat to yourself that adjusting your diet is very difficult, first stop eating those skewers or eating like your grandmother recommended 30 years ago: make sure you eat pancakes 5 times a day and even for the night to grow big and healthy. Everything will be much better than you think.

Stricter modes have their advantages, but they are not always better.
6:18 or 4:20 forms of intermittent fasting when a person consumes food from 1 p.m. at 7 p.m. or from 3 p.m. at 7 p.m.

A new study appeared in the journal Cell Metabolism. Examine the relationship between two much stricter dietary regimens and the cardiometabolic response. An 8-week study with 82 volunteers showed:

• Caloric restriction at 18 or 20 hours did not show significant differences compared to the control group;

• Calorie intake was not limited during the food intake “window”, but the total daily caloric requirement decreased by an average of approximately 550 kcal per day.

• Over 8 weeks in both study groups, overweight people lost an average of 3%. body weight.

• Insulin tolerance and oxidative stress were reliably reduced in both groups!

Without food for 18 or 20 hours a day, no significant differences were observed with a caloric restriction of only 550 kcal per day. Therefore, in 8 weeks it is realistic not only to reduce your body weight by 3%, but also to improve your cardiometabolic condition.

This study is a great complement to other work carried out and published, which shows that, for example, with type II diabetes and a sudden reduction in body weight of 15-20%, it is possible to avoid the use of medications for the control of glucose.

It is important to remember that if you have a chronic disease or other medical condition, you should consult your dietitian before applying a calorie restriction.
