Nutrition Expert Explains Intermittent Fasting: Benefits and Cautions

Dr. Guillermo R. N., a PhD in Human Nutrition, recently shared insights into intermittent fasting in a video. He emphasized the importance of understanding when to avoid fasting and highlighted its potential benefits, particularly for individuals with diabetes or cancer. "If you have diabetes and want to lower your glycosylated hemoglobin from 9 to 5.5, try a 72-hour fast," he advised. He also compared the body's cleansing process to cleaning out a refrigerator, explaining the concept of autophagy. The video, while informative, incorporated clickbait elements. The information presented, however, warrants further exploration in a more formal media setting.
