Intermittent fasting (IF) involves cycling between periods of eating and fasting, offering numerous health benefits, including a boosted metabolism. IF helps regulate insulin levels, promoting fat burning and improving energy efficiency.

Popular methods of IF include the 16/8 method (fasting for 16 hours and eating within an 8-hour window) and the 5:2 method (eating normally for five days and restricting calorie intake for two). Combined with a balanced diet and regular chiropractic care, IF can enhance overall health.
