What Is Intermittent Fasting | Frenly Circle

Intermittent fasting (IF) is a diet that involves alternating between periods of voluntary fasting or reduced calorie intake and non-fasting over a given period, with methods including alternate-day fasting, periodic fasting, and daily time-restricted eating, reportedly aiming to reduce the risk of diet-related diseases such as metabolic syndrome, and potentially improving health outcomes in overweight or obese adults, although its effects on blood pressure and overall safety are still being researched and debated by organizations like the National Institute on Aging and the American Heart Association.
