There are many researches that have proven intermittent fasting an essential way to reduce weight-related problems. Recent research has told that intermittent fasting has positive results in metabolic syndrome. The research was carried out by Pam R. Taub who is the director of the Step Family Cardiac Wellness and associate professor of medicine at the University of California.
Taub told that patients with metabolic syndrome had limited their eating to a ten hours window. There was a reduction in their weight, BP and atherogenic lipids as well.
The research has studied a new type of intermittent fasting called time-restricted eating. This type of intermittent fasting allows fasting for 14 hours and an eating window of ten hours. The patients with metabolic syndrome were given this eating window and that resulted in several benefits such as lowering the LDL, weight reduction and less cholesterol. But the research has also suggested following complete safety precautions while doing intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting is not safe for people who are on medication such as antihypertensive medications.
This kind of Intermittent fasting is getting great popularity among fitness seekers. This way of time-restricted eating is very flexible and provides a proper time window for eating. People are consulting their physicians before setting the window based on their schedule. Intermittent fasting burns the extra fat in the body and provides a good body posture. It has many other benefits too that are currently under research.
