intermittent fasting and insulin resistance
Intermittent fasting is a pattern of eating that involves cycling between periods of fasting and eating. It restricts the time window for consuming food, typically limiting it to a few hours each day. Insulin resistance, on the other hand, is a condition where cells in the body become less responsive to the hormone insulin. This results in elevated levels of insulin in the blood, leading to various health issues such as weight gain, high blood sugar, and an increased risk of diabetes.
