Eat fewer meals to restore your internal health.
As the idiom goes, “I like three meals a day more than three meals a day”. However, this is actually being reassessed as not being very good for your health. You wake up in the morning and have breakfast a little later, then lunch, and then dinner at the end of the day. This has been the norm and has been thought to be good for health. However, this is now considered too much food. It is now known that reducing the frequency and spacing of meals has a variety of health benefits. This is how petit fasting, for example, is gaining attention.
Do you eat a good breakfast? It is taken for granted that it is better for your health to eat it, but in recent years many people have come to the opinion that this is not always the case.
However, it is not that not eating breakfast is good for you, but that it is important for your health to keep a gap between meals. This has led to an increase in the number of people fasting.
Fasting is not for dieting purposes, but for health awareness, and petit fasting, in which people are allowed to go for a dozen hours between meals every day, is attracting a lot of attention.
Fasting revives the activity of the internal organs and
protect the body from the harmful effects of reactive oxygen species.
In the Western medical community, research on hunger and health has been conducted extensively, and it has been shown that fasting leads to weight and body fat loss and is effective in preventing cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases (such as myocardial infarction and angina pectoris) and neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease). It has been shown to be effective in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases (such as myocardial infarction and angina pectoris) and neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases).
When you eat three or more meals a day, the next food enters your body while the previous one is being digested. The internal organs have to keep working without rest. Naturally, the internal organs become exhausted.
Tired stomachs, intestines and livers work sluggishly, they cannot absorb nutrients properly and waste products are not discharged properly. The intestinal environment also deteriorates, the immune system is weakened and the body becomes unwell and susceptible to illness.
Time without food in the bloodstream
Significantly reduces lipids and carbohydrates.
When the time without eating exceeds 10 hours, the glycogen stored in the liver runs out and the body tries to break down fat and convert it into energy. The excess fat in the body is broken down and reduced.
Further fat breakdown reduces the lipids in the blood and frees up the blood vessels that have been under pressure. It has been reported that after 12-24 hours of fasting, the amount of carbohydrates in the blood is reduced by about 20%.
The most important effects of fasting are
Activation of autophagy.
The greatest benefit of creating a fasting period is the effect of autophagy. Autophagy is the mechanism by which old proteins in the cells are removed and replaced by new ones. During periods of hunger, the body tries to produce proteins from what is available in the body in order to survive.
At this time, cells are renewed from the inside out, which is thought to have a preventive effect on lifestyle-related diseases such as cancer and diabetes, Alzheimer’s dementia and infectious diseases, as well as preventing the ageing of skin, muscles and other parts of the body.
Considering the autophagy effect, it may be a good idea to space out your meals more than usual.
