Benefits of Fasting...

There has been major controversy over Fasting, especially in the fitness community.  In order to understand Fasting and what it means for YOUR body, research is key.  We are all NOT created equal therefore what works for me will not necessarily work for you.  A true fast (by definition) must last between 24-36 hours.  This does not mean you give up water.  This only includes food.  Research has proven the following benefits of Fasting:

Reduced

• blood lipids
• blood pressure
• inflammation
• oxidative stress
• risk of cancer

Increased

• cell turnover and repair
• fat burning (stored fat)
• growth hormone (building lean muscle)
• metabolic rate
