Abstract in brief

  • Insulin resistance is a growing health issue largely due to decreased physical activity and constant food availability, which conflicts with our evolutionary adaptations for feast and famine.
  • Researchers conducted a study with eight healthy young men where they practiced intermittent fasting for 15 days, alternating 20-hour fasting periods.
  • The results indicated that intermittent fasting improved insulin sensitivity, increased glucose uptake rates, and elevated adiponectin levels, supporting the idea that our metabolism benefits from periodic fasting as suggested by the thrifty gene theory.

Intermittent fasting increases insulin sensitivity in healthy young men, even without weight loss. Fasting period was 20 hours but only every other day. Anybody could do this. https://t.co/3ks6J7Bpnt
