When you fast or intermittent fast the blood pressure actually lowers as a result of fasting instead of rising.

So if you suffer from high blood pressure fasting or intermittent fasting can help lower your blood pressure and reduce your risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, heart attacks and strokes.

Fasting or intermittent fasting can also help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce your weight which helps you stay healthy and fit.

Fasting and intermittent fasting can also help you live longer because when you fast you help to also detox your body.
