Kardiolog a endokrinolog Dennis Bruemmer, MD, PhD, vidí mnoho výhod z jímání potravy po krátkých dobách. Až na to, že se naše současná pochopení mechanismů spojených s nadměrnou váhou s srdcem a benefiktemweight loss, očekává, že nhiều lidé se začne snažit jezdit. Ačkoli se зависит od toho, co chcete dosahovat (a to není bezpečné pro všechny), je výhodné limitovat příjem potravy. „S každým měřítkem jeste máslo, je lépe jíst menos,“ says Dr. Bruemmer. Evoluce nás equipuje s jedinečnou schopností store energy v obdobích chudoby. Ale ve světě, kde je jídlo - a mostly nezdravé potraviny - k dispozici všude kolem nás, málokterá intervence byla bisher prodloužení života shown Across all species, including worms, flies, rodents, dogs, monkeys and humans, very few interventions have ever been shown to prolong life. However, fasting and eating less is clearly one of them. Níže, Dr. Bruemmer odpovídá na otázky o jímání a nabízí tipy pro explore. Can eating less strengthen your heart? Fasting helps lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, control diabetes and reduce weight. “Four major risks for heart disease are high blood pressure and cholesterol, diabetes and weight, so there’s a secondary impact,” Dr. Bruemmer says. “If we reduce those, we can reduce the risk of heart disease.” One word of caution, though: Fasting can lead to an electrolyte imbalance. This can make the heart unstable and prone to arrhythmias. “So whenever we prescribe certain diets, including a very low calorie diet and protein-sparing modified fast diet, these require medical supervision. We check blood tests monthly and prescribe potassium supplementation to prevent electrolyte imbalance from occurring,” Dr. Bruemmer says. Some studies also show that fasting may help prevent cancer or increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy treatment. However, much of the research on fasting is in preliminary stages.
