Nothing was processed at all. ALL THE VERY BEST.”

How does intermittent fasting help in weight loss?
Intermittent fasting encourages the body to enter ketosis, a state where it burns fat for fuel instead of glucose from carbohydrates, potentially accelerating weight loss. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that intermittent fasting can support weight loss and improve metabolic health by reducing insulin resistance and inflammation.
Morning walk benefits:
Early morning walks can elevate your mood, lower blood pressure, increase energy levels, enhance memory, reduce the risk of dementia, and improve both mental and emotional well-being. Moreover, they can contribute to weight loss.
How more intake of fluids helps:
Drinking water can enhance metabolism and curb hunger. Research published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism found that consuming 500 ml of water increased metabolic rate by 30% in both men and women. Adequate hydration aids in detoxification and supports kidney function, which is crucial for effective weight loss.
Benefits of slow chewing:
Eating slowly facilitates digestion and provides several health benefits. Those who consume their meals rapidly are more prone to weight gain compared to individuals who eat at a leisurely pace and chew their food thoroughly.
Benefits of sleeping early in weight management:
Going to bed early enables your body to rejuvenate and relax. It can help you avoid late-night snacking and decrease stress, both of which are major factors in weight gain.
