Intermittent fasting may help slow aging and diseases like cancer and diabetes — even if you don't lose weight
The authors found that IF of all types can help slow aging and age-related illnesses like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. It can also help with weight and fat loss.
Even more promising, the benefits of IF aren't only seen in people who lose weight. The researchers think an additional process, called metabolic switching, is the cause of most, if not all, of IF's benefits, according to the study.
The findings mark "a transition point where we could soon consider adding information about intermittent fasting to medical school curricula alongside standard advice about healthy diets and exercise," lead author Mark Mattson, a neuroscientist at John Hopkins Medicine, said in a press release.
