In the past year, whether it was 168 fasting, 52 fasting, various intermittent fasting, and various intermittent fastings have triggered topical discussions. There are also more and more researches on the impact of fasting on physical health. In addition to reducing fat and weight, there are Studies have confirmed that it is indeed helpful for blood sugar control, but whether it is really helpful for the prevention of diabetes has not been scientifically proven so far, but experts are all optimistic about this.

Intermittent fasting is more than just weight loss!The potential benefits are these

The effect of intermittent fasting is widely welcomed by the general public, and its implementation is more acceptable than other weight loss methods.However, the current research on intermittent fasting is relatively inadequate, but there are still many new studies. For example, the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association pointed out that participants received a 16-hour fast. It helps to lose weight and improve the function of insulin, especially when combined with exercise to help reduce fat.

Although the evidence on intermittent is quite limited, it does show significant potential benefits. Contains lower blood pressure and triglycerides . Another published in the international journal “Nutrition Bulletin” research, researchers actively explore the relationship between fasting and type 2 diabetes.

Eating early gives the body a chance to expend energy

In the 10-week study, 51 participants (with a medium/high risk of developing type 2 diabetes) between the ages of 18 and 65 were divided into three groups. The first is the control group and will not change their eating habits; the second group restricts eating time between 7 am and 3 pm; the third group restricts eating time between 12-8 pm.

The research conclusion states that Intermittent fasting can be an alternative conventional method to prevent metabolic diseases, and the effect of eating early will be better than eating later . In this regard, Heho Health Nutritionist Wu Yiting explained: “Whether fasting or not, eating earlier has more time for digestion and metabolism than eating later. If it is 12-8pm, it’s not too late and it’s not too late before going to bed. Not finished digesting.”

“But fasting was originally intended to achieve the goal of burning fat during the fasting period. Eating early will allow the body to consume more energy at night after eating. It may make the fasting effect better, but this is also Presumably, more research is needed to confirm it.” Wu Yiting said.

Dietitian: It is not recommended for diabetic patients to fasting by themselves

Studies have indeed shown that fasting can reduce weight and improve insulin sensitivity, both of which are indicators of delaying or improving the progression of diabetes. But Wu Yiting emphasized: “It is generally not recommended for diabetic patients to perform the intermittent period because “hypoglycemia is very dangerous.” If medication or insulin is not adjusted during fasting, the risk of hypoglycemia is much more serious than obesity or insulin resistance. “

Therefore, unless it is evaluated by medical staff and monitored at any time, dietitians do not recommend that patients with diabetes do it themselves. However, it is undeniable that under the prevalence of intermittent fasting, whether it will help reduce the risk of diabetes in the future requires more information to support it.
