Obesity is the leading cause of chronic diseases like diabetes. It is caused by the accumulation of fat in the body. The body needs energy to perform various activities. This energy is normally obtained from the carbs that we eat. The excess of these are stored in the body in the form of fat. This normally leads to a person becoming overweight. During intermittent fasting, the body will not find food to process and use as the source of energy. In such a case, it turns to burning the fat stored in the body to get energy. This process normally leads to weight loss. This is where fasting becomes important. It makes the body burn the stored fat for energy, aiding in weight loss. This can help one reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases like diabetes. Intermittent fasting is also a natural way of preventing type-2 diabetes. The reason is that it is good for increasing insulin sensitivity, which can help in preventing type-2 diabetes.
