Intermittent Fasting

Meaning

Intermittent Fasting (IF) is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of voluntary fasting and non-fasting, rather than a continuous caloric restriction approach. Common protocols include time-restricted feeding, where eating is limited to a specific window each day, or periodic 24-hour fasts. This dietary strategy is leveraged for its potential metabolic benefits, including improved insulin sensitivity, enhanced cellular repair processes, and modulation of key longevity pathways, making it a powerful tool in metabolic and hormonal health optimization.
