BENIFIT OF FASTING 16 HOURS

benefit of fasting 16 hours A 16-hour fast (16:8 intermittent fasting) primarily promotes weight loss, fat burning, and improved metabolic health by reducing insulin levels and initiating ketosis. It triggers cellular repair through autophagy, lowers inflammation, and can enhance heart health by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol. Key Health Benefits of 16-Hour Fasting Weight Loss and Fat Burning: The body burns fat for fuel instead of glucose after about 10–16 hours without food, helping reduce weight and visceral fat. Improved Insulin Sensitivity: By reducing blood sugar levels, 16:8 fasting can increase insulin sensitivity, which aids in preventing Type 2 diabetes. Autophagy (Cellular Repair): Fasting for 16 hours encourages autophagy, a process that removes damaged cells and regenerates newer, healthier ones. Heart Health Improvement: Studies show it can lower blood pressure, reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and decrease triglycerides. Reduced Inflammation: This fasting pattern can reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, which are linked to chronic diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. Brain Function: The metabolic switch to ketones can improve memory and protect against neurodegenerative diseases. Important Considerations Side Effects: Potential side effects include dizziness, headaches, hunger, and irritability. Not for Everyone: It may not be suitable for people with diabetes taking specific medications, those with a history of eating disorders, or pregnant women. Consistency: The benefits often rely on maintaining consistent eating windows. Credits: #Mayo Clinic #Qualitas Health Malaysia #National Institutes of Health (.gov)

ON THE ROAD TO EIGHTY

*On the Road to Eighty* ______________________ Seventy is an important node in life. From any perspective, people over seventy are considered old. At this point, the gorgeous sunset is approaching the horizon, and the colorful life is also coming to an end. According to official public data, only 44% of all natural persons can cross the threshold of seventy and turn around to walk on the road to eighty. Seventy to eighty is a difficult decade in life, and it is an eventful period of life in old age. 👨🏼‍🦯👩‍🦯 This interval will experience accelerated ageing, and all organs are irreversibly degenerating and wearing out, just like a machine that is about to be scrapped but is still running slowly. 👩‍🦯👨🏼‍🦯This period is the outbreak period of many diseases. Due to the reduction and mutation of the human immune ability, it is difficult to effectively resist the invasion of bacteria and viruses. Minor illnesses often occur, and major illnesses are coming at any time. It is a normal situation. 👨🏼‍🦯👩‍🦯During this period, due to the slow reaction of the brain and the loss of flexibility of the limbs, various accidents such as dizziness, choking, collisions, and falls will occur at any time, and each accident will bring unbearable consequences. 👩‍🦯👨🏼‍🦯During this period, you will also have to endure the pain and sadness of losing relatives, comrades, colleagues, classmates and other acquaintances of the same age. Your social circle will become smaller and smaller, and you will have fewer and fewer close friends to confide in, and your sense of loneliness will continue to increase. 👨🏼‍🦯👩‍🦯What is more dangerous is that some people will become deaf and amnesiac or even lose their ability to take care of themselves during this period. Not only will they have to endure the torment of long-term bed rest, but they will also add a heavy burden to their children. 👨🏼‍🦯👩‍🦯Many unpredictable things will happen at any time during this period, and an inadvertent mistake can completely change your life. Everyone's old age is a bloody storm, and this is by no means alarmist. A piece of classical opera about the difficulty of old age tells the bitterness and desolation of the elderly. Some people say that if you can cross the age of seventy and step on the starting line of the eighties, you are a very lucky person, because more than half of your peers have fallen behind and lost the qualification to run eighties. If you reach 75 years old, you are a winner in life, because you have traveled halfway through this difficult decade of life, and your actual life expectancy has reached the average of the national average life expectancy. In this landmark gas station, you can vaguely see the sign of the end of life as long as you raise your feet and look up. If you persist all the way and finally complete the task of running eighty, you are a perfect winner in life. Because you have successfully reached the base camp of climbing to the top of life, you can lie down and reminisce your stormy life. Next, you can disdain those vague goals of 90 and 100 years old, and you can decide to move forward or give up at any time and anywhere. Everything will go with the flow and leave it to fate. There is no more time to come in our life dictionary. The only thing we can dominate is: do not regret yesterday, do not gamble tomorrow, cherish today, and live well every day. As long as you can eat and walk today, then hurry up to eat some food you want to eat, see some beautiful scenery you want to see, and complete the long-cherished wish you once dreamed of! Hold on tight, hold on tight, and leave no regrets in life! This is time for you to prepare the life of akhirat to get the blessing of Allah.! 🙏Forward this to all old classmates, old comrades, old colleagues, old peers of the same age. Let's encourage each other! Cnp: Jannafa Junction
