- Fasting can reverse type 2 diabetes by burning harmful visceral fat and improving insulin sensitivity.
- The fat inside cells, not just sugar, causes insulin receptors to malfunction, leading to various health problems.
Fasting and Blood Pressure
- Fasting consistently lowers high blood pressure, with the most significant drop observed in a 10-day fast.
- A study reported a 37/13 point drop on average, even a 60-point drop in systolic pressure for severe cases.
