Blood sugar remains controlled
Fasting can be beneficial for people who are at risk of diabetes because fasting helps in better blood sugar control. Not only this, if patients with type 2 diabetes keep intermittent fasting for a short time, then their blood sugar level also decreases significantly. Along with fasting, insulin resistance decreases and sensitivity to insulin increases in the body, which makes it easier for the glucose present in the blood to reach the cells.
Toxins come out of the body
Today's lifestyle has also affected our food habits. Most of us often eat outside food or greasy food throughout the day but do not make any effort to digest it. In such a situation, fat and toxic elements get accumulated in the body. It is very important to remove them from the body. Fasting once a week works to detoxify your body. Due to the release of toxic elements of the body, there is relief from all the problems of the skin.
Reduce obesity
The biggest advantage of fasting is that your increased weight starts decreasing. When you fast continuously, during this time according to your rule of eating less, body fat does not get formed and the existing fat also starts decreasing. In such a fast, you can replace any solid product with a liquid product in your diet.
