Intermittent Fasting Could Increase Risk of cancer, Research Finds
The findings could lead to a better understanding of how chronic fasting may affect the body in the long term
Fasting diets may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer, a new study has said.
Skipping breakfast may be bad for the immune system, making it more difficult for the body to fight off infection, research has revealed.
Researchers say the study, carried out in mice, is among the first to show that skipping meals triggers a response in the brain that negatively affects immune cells.
The findings could lead to a better understanding of how chronic fasting may affect the body in the long term.
Researchers aimed to better understand how fasting for anything from a few hours to a more severe fast of 24 hours affects the immune system.
