Fasting Benefits Explored

Fasting for up to 24 hours can significantly boost growth hormone levels—up to 2000% in men and 1300% in women. This increase is linked to improved metabolic health, as fasting prompts the body to release more cholesterol, which helps utilize fat as fuel. The findings suggest that fewer fat cells may lead to a reduced risk of insulin resistance and diabetes, highlighting the beneficial effects of fasting on overall health.
