What can you drink when intermittent fasting?
In this video I explain what you can drink if you want to stay in ketosis when intermittent fasting.

In case you have not watched it I have a longer video all about the exciting health benefits of intermittent fasting:

Here are some of the benefits of intermittent fasting:
Increased lifespan. There’s been much research that indicates that restricting the calorific intake of mammals causes a dramatic increase in lifespan. The report in the New England Journal of science indicated that intermittent fasting had an even greater impact than just restricting calories.

Improved glucose regulation.

Reduced insulin resistance.

Inflammation suppression.

Increased stress resistance.

Improved cell repair growth and plasticity.

Enhanced autophagy which is the process in the body whereby old tired weak and damaged and defective cells are consumed and replaced with new healthy cells.

Blood pressure falls.

Cardiovascular disease improves.

Diabetes type II improvements or elimination.

Lose weight and body fat.

The hormones related to ageing are lowered.

In your brain ketones trigger the production of the BDNF molecule which strengthens neurons in the part of the brain responsible for learning, spatial memory, associative memory, working memory, verbal memory and cognition. This has tremendous importance for dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s Since there are no pharmacological treatments. There have also been improvements in people with epilepsy.

The expression of antioxidant defences are increased.

DNA repair is enhanced.

Protein quality control is enhanced.

These last two will play a part in improving cancer.

Mitochondrial production increases.

Physical endurance, balance and coordination is enhanced.

Asthma, Multiple Sclerosis and arthritis are improved. Once again there are no pills for this other than ones that act as symptom suppressants.

The body’s ability to heal after trauma and surgery is enhanced by fasting both before and/or after the surgery.

If you are planning on fasting I think you will have an easier time if you are less carbohydrate dependent and your body is already used to using fat as a fuel source. Looking at a ketogenic diet or the very least dramatically reducing your intake of sugars and carbs will be very beneficial.

As with anything taking it slow and steady gradually working up, in my mind, more likely to be something that you would stick with long-term.

Good luck and let me know how you get on!
