I have found intermittent fasting to be one of the quickest ways to get rid of aches and pains and to stop a cold I feel coming on. Humans weren’t created to eat 24/7. Autophagy is important.
Good for you! I have got rid of my border line diabetic condition, and lost fat around my waist (which I could not get rid of with plenty of exercise), and even my blood pressure is lower.....all with intermittent fasting. Just like all our ancestors...the Paleo people!
