Fasting can lower your risk of heart disease and diabetes, so says new research.
A new study has discovered that periodic fasting can reduce the likelihood of heart disease and diabetes, as well as lower blood sugar levels .
Upon participants fasting for 24-hours and only drinking water triglycerides, a kind fat, weight as well as blood sugar levels all dropped.
The fact that fasting is related to a lower risk of these common diseases brings about fresh questions as to does fasting itself lower risk or does it just indicate a healthy lifestyle?
