5. Lower Blood Sugar Levels

Insulin is the hormone that helps move glucose out of the bloodstream into cells for energy production. When insulin is not working as it should, elevated blood sugar levels breed a host of discomforts and illnesses. Research is finding that IF helps the body regulate the release of insulin, curtailing blood sugar fluctuations. The World Journal of Diabetes published a study in which participants with diabetes fasted 16 hours a day for 14 days. The subjects experienced lower caloric intake, weight loss, and reduced blood glucose levels.
