BLUSH | HEALTH & FITNESS IS INTERMITTENT FASTING THE REAL FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH? Intermittent fasting is becoming a particularly popular health topic. There are many different styles of intermittent fasting, and it can be challenging to know which choice is the safest and most effective for you personally... How the Gut Affects our Body 88 BLUSH | WINTER 2019 sevenstarmedia.co.uk
BLUSH | HEALTH & FITNESS Intermittent Fasting (IF) or Time Restricted Eating (TRF) are terms used for when you have periods of extended time that you don’t eat. The most popular is a 16:8 protocol. This means sixteen hours of fasting and an eight-hour window in which you can eat, which is especially beneficial for promoting longevity and anti-aging. This is a lifestyle change rather than a ‘diet’, and it is seen by many as one of the easiest to adopt. Intermittent Fasting is about the balance of Fasting with Feasting. This allows the breakdown of the old cells (autophagy) and the building of the new healthier ones. To get the most of IF, the ‘building phase’ is just as important. What are the benefits of this eating regime? Better Blood Sugar control Controlling our blood sugar – Fasting helps us leave the sugar rollercoaster behind! It stabilises our blood sugar levels by allowing us to tap into our fat stores for fuel. Fat loss Fasting is the opposite of starving, you are simply switching fuel source… during fasting we are teaching our body to burn our fat as fuel. Anti-Ageing Fasting activates a ‘cellular stress response’, an increased capacity to resist stress, disease and aging. Cells upregulate the expression of genes that increase the capacity to withstand stress and resist disease and aging. Autophagy is the most impressive process that Intermittent Fasting promotes. Autophagy (the Greek word to mean self-eating) is the most impressive process that Intermittent Fasting promotes. It is a natural bodily process that rids of unwanted cells and cleanses, making way for anti-ageing and disease prevention. Fasting activates an increased rate of cellular response (autophagy) to allow our body to clean itself of its old and dead cells. There is a balance here, of course. You get sick from too much autophagy as well as too little. Which gets us back to the natural cycle of life – feast and fast. Not constant ‘dieting’! This allows for cell growth during eating, and cellular cleansing during fasting – BALANCE – Life is all about balance. Healthy Gut Our microbiome is the colony of bacteria that lives in our stomach. A better balance towards ‘good bacteria’ = good health. It has been shown in many studies, that during fasting, our microbiome greatly benefits. In particular, there is one species of bacteria that thrives and flourishes when we fast, called ‘Akkermansia’. It lives on the mucous lining of our guts, an anti-inflammatory for the gut lining, keeping it in good shape. Detoxification When we fast, it allows for the liver and kidneys to detoxify completely: Ensure you Hydrate properly to facilitate this process. Sleep Steady blood sugar levels help the increased natural production of Human Growth Hormone (known as the ‘youth hormone’) at night, leading to a more restorative sleep. Here are the Supplements we use to get the most out of our fasting journey, available on www. Protocol8.com along with more information about fasting. C60 is reported to be the most potent antioxidant in the world and will help ‘mop up’ those toxins to support weight loss and reduce inflammation. Ancient and Brave – MCT and Collagen, helping you feel satiated without raising insulin. Nuzest is an ideal ‘full nutritional support’. SkinnyLuxeTea is ideal for reducing cravings and making you feel full in those fasting windows. sevenstarmedia.co.uk BLUSH | WINTER 2019 89
