In the world of health and fitness, intermittent fasting is the new trendsetter. Popular 16: 8 method: Fasting for 16 hours and eating within an 8-hour window. This method promises many benefits, such as quick weight loss, better metabolism and even anti-aging benefits. But for many people, this method comes with an uncomfortable side effect, which is inflammation.

But why does some people trigger intermittent fasting? And is this food pattern really suited for all?

Unnatural methods of losing weight

Our body has a habit and is more comfortable with natural ways to lose weight, the same principle that we have been taught for generations. But a relatively new concept, intermittent fasting, may take some risk, internal medical specialist in Apollo hospitals. Surranjit Chatterjee says.

“I believe that unnatural methods of losing weight including medicine are not normal for humans. Everything that we have told for generations is still correct: if you eat right, exercise, and lead a healthy life, you can naturally lose weight, unless you have medical issues, if you do not have medical issues, you do not need a shortock.”

Why is bloating during fasting

One of the most common complaints report, while obeying internal fasting is stomach inflammation, which can make them feel heavy and uncomfortable.

Dr. According to Chatterjee, the reason for this is how the stomach works during long fasting. “When you are not eating for 16 hours, the acid produced in the stomach is not neutralized by food. This can lead to additional acid formation. Whatever is not natural for the body can trigger such reactions beyond that,” they say.

Essentially, fasting changes the natural digestive rhythm. When you finally “break fasting” and load your system with heavy food within the food window, you struggle to cope with your stomach, resulting in gas, acidity and inflammation.

Is 16: 8 Fasting is really healthy for all?

An inner fasting fasting can help lose weight and can work well for some people, but it may not suit everyone, and where caution is needed, Dr. Chatterjee says.

“Sixteen hours of fast is not fasting after dumping myself with food for eight hours that I suggest for most people. Although I have seen many benefits from it, the approach does not suit everyone,” they say. Dr. Chatterjee recommends focusing and focusing on nutritious food and regular exercise rather than a fasting program moving forward.

An inner fasting can be a fast way to lose weight, but it can affect your natural digestive cycle, which can cause acidity and inflammation.
