There’s new evidence that Silicon Valley’s favorite diet has benefits that go beyond weight loss
Silicon Valley’s favorite diet is called intermittent fasting, and it involves abstaining from food for anywhere from 16 hours to several days.
Although you can eat basically whatever you want on the diet, intermittent fasting has been linked with weight loss that’s on par with traditional diets.
But fasting may have health benefits that go beyond losing weight, according to a new study: It could make for a healthier blood pressure and increased insulin sensitivity.
