Fasting Is About So Much More Than Weight Loss

Whether you've been fasting for some time, or you're a newbie, you're probably aware that there are plenty of benefits to fasting besides weight loss. In fact, fasting is one of the best things you can do in terms of anti-aging, reducing inflammation, increasing longevity, and reversing or preventing a number of chronic diseases. It's all too common, though, for people to focus on the weight loss benefits and forget about the rest. Don't make that mistake! 

In terms of motivation, brushing up on your fasting expertise is one of the smartest moves you can make. When you have a few hours to go before breaking your fast and your stomach starts to grumble, a snack can almost be too tempting to resist, especially if your only motivation is losing a couple of pounds. BUT if you remind yourself of the myriad benefits for your overall health, it might just give you the extra willpower you need to stick it out that last little bit... and that last little bit can make all the difference! 

Also, familiarizing yourself with the science of fasting gives you the tools you need to help others. We all have people in our lives that could benefit from fasting for overall health. The more we know, the better we are able to help those we love. 

We were excited when we came across “The Benefits of Fasting”, an OutwitTrade research article that serves as a sort of cheat sheet for the science of fasting with great information from authority sources all over the internet compiled on one page. It's a perfect bookmark for your own reference and a great resource to send to friends or family who are curious as to why you fast, or are interested in learning more about it. Check it out to boost your motivation and beef up your knowledge.
