How Intermittent Fasting Aids for Healthier You

Many people find Intermittent fasting is a good way to lose wight. Unlike other diets its cycling periods allow fast and feast times, with restriction on calories. Eating few meals While letting fast works on your body has many other benefits.

Normalize Insulin Hormone and Lower the Risk for Type 2 Diabetes

What happens when you constantly eats random sugary meals, is that your pancreas is becoming exhausted from releasing Insulin Hormone in order to stable the sugar that is circulating in your blood. When pancreatic cells are unable to function properly, person becomes diabetic. Diabetes is a common disease especially if your parents have it, there is a big chance you will get it, too. Fasting lower insulin levels as you stop eating, then body starts breaking down Glycogen as fuel. After that, your body activate burning fat mode. Overall reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Organizing your Meals and stop craving Surgery food

That may sounds weird, but certainly effective than other diets. If your body is working well, and you have enough energy! You want feel the need to eat more sugar!!

Help Reduce Oxidative Stress and Inflammation 

There is unstable radicals known as (Free Radicals) looking to be stable. So what these really do is reacting with important molecules like proteins and DNA and destroy them. Studies proved that intermittent fasting reduce the oxidative stress level by increasing body resistance to it.

 Finishing up with the amazing work with inflammation process. Your body is able to get rid of waste materials that we call “debris” which results from metabolism and broken down cells, by enhancing the “engulfing” -digesting- cells in your immune system.

Unraveal the Introvert

There is only two types of people in the world. Britney Spears was right (Circus Album) ?! Okay never mind, but you should listen to it, it was one of my favorite. Back to the point. People are two kinds. The giver and the taker. Introverts and extroverts! My name is introvert.. In order to get to know my world! Let me introduce you to myself.

Status: professional Introvert by birth.

Personality: Independent, motivated, sarcastic. “wait this sums up my entire life, no need to read the entire post!! JOKE keep reading : ) “

Identity: Girly girl

When you fall in one of these two categories that doesn’t mean you only have a morbid personality of an “Introvert” or an ” Extrovert”! In other words, your characteristics aren’t a solid introvert or extrovert. You’re for sure carrying some characteristics from the other category, but the dominant one is what prevails the other.

Any introverted personnel underwent same feelings! Struggling because of how world received them. Unravel The Introvert Series is honoring you as human. For youngster introverts.. please don’t let anyone makes you feel shitty. The majority of population are extroverts, but intros aren’t less than them. They are givers, and they may not appear so, because they set boundaries. If the givers didn’t set boundaries.. takers will not! Hence why they are careful with “giving” – once they feel comfortable with it there is no problem-. They like their work to be appreciated. Extros throw their good deeds everywhere, So one day they want the same help to get back to them! Everyone wants something in exchange! So Don’t feel less than anyone!

Introvert has been used negatively anyway! I kinda want it to be destroyed!!

Seriously google?! Shy and reticent! Guess what we are more than these (two qualities)! Yes I am an introvert. I choose to stay focused, so I spend time by myself doing my things.. ! Besides, You talk so loud, and your acquaintances friends yesterday diagnosed you with “diarrhea of the mouth”! What is good (Reticent)! haha, that’s non of your dam business!

Let’s take a look on my favorite Definition of Introvert in Urban Dictionary:

It is not a holistic definition by its mean,but this definition deserves a small clap!

Oh yeah.. The clap sounds unfriendly and bitchy!Dahh.. Top mistaken labels of us. We don’t talk too much, but I am proud to have a knowledge about myself, and true awareness of my feelings. I think before I speak. My true friends call me a ” Thoughtful person” because of that quality.

Ignored Altogether

interacting with people is so joyful an all. However, I am self sufficient I entertain myself. I am glad to be ignored by killing conversations, and – Extra crap- talk.

Less “Social Genes” 

I have this classmate who constantly trying not to leave me setting by myself during breaks! She pops up everywhere I set, and makes a hassle while she sat! At the beginning it was nice, and I appreciate her effort, although I really wanted to set to review stuff or skipping the world, but choosing to spend time with me talking about fun stuff was fine. After few times, She started to talk about how setting alone can affect people mental health!! A couple of times, she made a conversation intervention on the same topic!! Which made me reconsider her gesture Asking myself “Am I appearing as ” Psycho” to her?!” That is not nice at all!!

Despite appearing -lonely- Introverts socialize and interact with everyone around them.They have good lives. They have close friends who appreciate their other point of views in many subjects. They also appreciate everyday people and the everything has the universe to offer. I’m an intro and, I’m an outgoing easy to talk person. I don’t make fun of people or label them just because they looked awkward once! Time with family is precious…

Do you know what else is precious?

My time alone! It is where I charge myself, and then I come back with my amazing characteristic you can find it in my next post The Perks Of Being An Introvert

Is Fasting Good for you

Fasting concept is not far away from what your body really does everyday. Your body is adapted to famine periods without having any problems!

When you go to bed usually you stop eating food at least an hour or two. Your body then goes into a fasting mode after 8 hours from the last meal you have eaten! So, before breakfast your body had no food, or even drinks for about 12-14 hours. When you empty your stomach content, Often you stay away from food, until your body reset it self. What happens when you have blood test the next day is similar. Your Doctor tells you to fast overnight to get precised results on what is really going on on your blood!

So If Intermittent Fasting for about the same tolerable time, during your awaken hours, Will it be GOOD FOR YOU?

When your body goes into a fasting mode after digesting your last meal. Insulin Hormone will drop down. which facilitate usage of glycogen, when sugar storage is finished, your body will start to use excess fat as fuel. Fasting also increase the release of HGH (Human Growth hormone) and Norepinephrine, both increase burning fat for your body to use as energy. In Short, your body will be less susceptible for Insulin Resistance, and you will feel energetic because of the release of other hormones. Some people freak out by the idea of this! But if the case is so why don’t you lose too much weight by stop eating for few days! The answer is because your body takes 8-16 hours to run of sugar and glycogen in order to get in fat burning mode.
