Cardiologist Believes Fasting is the Key to Better Heart Health
Dr. Pradip Jamnadas, a cardiologist, is challenging the traditional belief that we need to eat regularly to keep our hearts healthy. Instead, he is passionate about finding new solutions to old diseases, and he believes that the solution lies within ourselves.
The Importance of Fasting
Dr. Jamnadas believes that fasting can be the key to better heart health. He explains that when we fast, our bodies start to break down fat cells, which releases enzymes that can help with inflammation and reduce our risk of heart disease.
He cautions, however, that anyone with an existing health condition or who is taking medication should always consult their healthcare practitioner before going for prolonged periods without eating.
The Benefits of Fasting
Dr. Jamnadas notes that there are many benefits to fasting besides reducing the risk of heart disease. Fasting can help with weight loss, reduce inflammation in the body, lower blood pressure, and improve insulin sensitivity.
He also points out that fasting has been shown to reduce the risk of several chronic diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease.
Intermittent Fasting
Dr. Jamnadas recommends that people start with intermittent fasting, where you fast for a set period each day, such as 16 hours, and then eat during the remaining eight hours.
He explains that intermittent fasting is an easy way to see if fasting works for you, and it can be adapted to fit your lifestyle.
“By skipping breakfast and delaying your first meal of the day until noon, you’ve already done 16 hours of fasting,” he says. “Then, you can eat your meals within an eight-hour period, and repeat the cycle the next day.”
The Importance of Listening to Your Body
Dr. Jamnadas emphasizes that the most important thing is to listen to your body and find what works for you.
“Fasting is not easy, and it’s not for everyone,” he says. “But if you find that it works for you, it could be a game-changer for your health.”
He also notes that if you’re new to fasting, it’s important to start slowly and gradually build up your fasting periods.
