How intermittent fasting affect our body
When in the period of fasting, our body experiences several things on the cellular and molecular level.
One of the examples of this is in order to make stored fat more accessible, our body will adjust its hormone level. Moreover, when in fasting state, our cells also begun important repair processes and alter the expression of genes. Change & benefit in our body when fasting are as follows:
1. Growth Hormone: Another change that happens in our body is in the HGH or Human Growth Hormone. The level of HGH in will skyrocket and increase until 5-fold as much. This increase is useful for both fat loss and muscle gain.
2. Insulin: The next benefits that we could gain from fasting are the improvement of Insulin sensitivity and dramatic drop in our insulin levels. This drop of insulin is good for fat loss because it makes stored body fat more accessible.
3. Cellular repair: at the cellular level our cell will began cellular repair process such as autophagy, in which cells digest and remove dysfunctional proteins inside cells.
4. Gene expression: Some changes happen in the function of genes that related to longevity and protection against disease.
To summarize, when fasting, human growth hormone is increased while insulin levels is decreased. Body's cells also change and begun important cellular repair. These changes in hormone levels, cell function etc. are the health benefits of intermittent fasting.
