Helpful in weight loss
Fasting twice a week reduces calorie consumption, which helps in weight loss. When you fast, the body starts using stored fat for energy, which reduces fat content and leads to weight loss. The stomach being empty during fasting speeds up the digestion process, and also improves metabolism, which helps burn fat.
Detoxification of the body
Fasting improves the body's detoxification process. When we fast, the body gets time to expel the toxins that have accumulated in our body through food and drink. This process also makes our skin clean and glowing.
The digestive system gets relief.
During fasting the body's digestive system rests, giving it time to rebuild and clean itself. This improves digestion and provides relief from problems like gas, acidity. Fasting twice a week also improves stomach problems.
Improves brain functioning
Fasting also improves brain functioning. It increases the production of neurotransmitters in the brain, which increases mental clarity and focus. Apart from this, mental peace is experienced during fasting, which reduces stress and reduces the level of anxiety.
Improves immunity
Fasting also improves the body's immunity. During fasting, old cells are repaired and new cells are formed, which strengthens the immune system. Apart from this, it reduces inflammation in the body and increases the ability to fight diseases.
