Did you know? Intermittent fasting is not just practised within the Muslim community during Ramadan to help reflect and be thankful, but has also now become a larger phenomenon, as doing it can be very beneficial to the body. There are different durations of fasting, some people go for 48 hours without a meal and others do a smaller fast of around 12-18 hours, others may do a day of fasting and then skip a day. Whichever someone chooses to do, a fast really can give the digestive system and organs a break.
Some studies have shown fasting may promote blood sugar control by reducing insulin resistance. It could boost the metabolism and contribute to weight control. Fasting could promote better eating habits and cravings.
It could support overall brain function and focus. It may sound strange to some as we are all so used to eating three meals a day, not to mention snacks and hot drinks in between, but fasting would have occurred naturally, humans haven’t always had access to food like we do today, we would hunt for it so would go a day or two without a meal. Be warned, fasting is a gradual thing, so starting small is best, the body needs to have time to adjust to change, using a tea such as this could help with a smoother transition.
