The Ancient Secret for Beating Diabetes
I keep hearing about all of the progress we’re making against diabetes.
There are 1.5 million Americans being diagnosed with the disease every year — that’s like the populations of San Francisco and Boston COMBINED.
That doesn’t feel like great progress to me.
We don’t need new diabetes drugs — we have plenty of them.
What we need is a new approach.
I believe that the key to beating diabetes isn’t a medical breakthrough that’s waiting to happen… it’s in a technique practiced by our ancestors thousands of years ago.
This ancient practice is called intermittent fasting.
Rather than traditional fasting, which can span for days, intermittent fasting lasts for about 12-16 hours.
Our ancient ancestors went 12-16 hours without eating all the time.
Research in mice has shown that those exposed to intermittent fasting (rather than fed consistently) lost more weight and had more stable insulin and glucose systems.
These are all factors that are critical for patients living with diabetes (or for those trying to prevent it).
Intermittent fasting helps convert white adipose fat (which is unhealthy) into brown fat (which is energy-burning).
White fat is associated with the development of type 2 diabetes, while brown fat helps improve insulin sensitivity.
Brown fat takes energy to create, which stimulates energy-burning in the cells. Also, when white fat is browned, it helps to regulate thermogenic activity, a process that supports the body’s metabolism.
This study was conducted in mice, but the benefits of intermittent fasting in humans are extremely well documented.
And the evidence shows that intermittent fasting is a simple way to help burn fat, fight diabetes, boost brain function, and supercharge your body’s energy supplies.
But don’t just take it from the pages of a science journal…take it from me.
I’ve been practicing intermittent fasting for years, and I can personally vouch for its fat-burning, energy-boosting, disease-fighting benefits.
If you want to try it for yourself, start with a 12-hour window without any food once a week. Over time, build up to a 16-hour window.
You’ll be surprised at how easy it is—and you’ll be amazed at how much better you’ll feel.
