    Intermittent fasting is a health management strategy that can help cultivate healthier eating habits, promote weight management, and improve overall well-being.

    However, it is important to note that this method is not suitable for everyone and may pose potential health risks.

     

    It is recommended to consult a physician before starting any fasting regimen, especially if any of the following conditions apply:

    • Under 18 years of age: The body is still developing during this stage, and fasting may impact normal growth and health.
    • Pregnancy or breastfeeding: Adequate nutrition is essential to support both the mother’s and the baby’s health, and fasting may lead to nutritional deficiencies.
    • Chronic illnesses: Conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, or other chronic conditions may be adversely affected by fasting, and it could alter the effectiveness of medications.
    • Underweight or eating disorders: Fasting may exacerbate malnutrition or eating disorders.
    • Experiencing discomfort during fasting: Symptoms such as dizziness, weakness, or other adverse effects should be taken seriously, and fasting should be stopped immediately with medical consultation sought.
