Different Ways People Practice Fasting
Dr. Vijay Agarwal explains that fasting is not a one-size-fits-all practice. Some people follow intermittent fasting, eating only within certain hours each day. Others fast on two days a week while eating normally on the remaining five. Each approach varies, but the goal is to create a balance that works for the individual.
How Fasting Supports Better Health
The main value of fasting lies in its ability to maintain body weight, improve activity levels, and support overall well-being. These benefits extend beyond immediate fitness, contributing to long-term resilience and healthier metabolic function.
Why Fasting May Reduce Cancer Risk
According to Dr. Vijay Agarwal, the connection between fasting and cancer risk comes down to healthier living. By helping people stay leaner, more active, and better nourished, fasting indirectly lowers the chances of certain cancers developing over time.
