Al-Marsad newspaper: A study has revealed that following the diet known as intermittent fasting can lead patients to recover from type 2 diabetes.
‘Type 2 diabetes is not necessarily a life-long disease,’ Professor Dongbo Liu, of China’s Hunan University, said in a press release. The study results show that intermittent fasting, especially CMNT can lead to remission of diabetes. .
According to Healthline, intermittent fasting has become a viable weight loss strategy in recent years. It involves eating within specific time periods and fasting for a certain number of hours each day.
The researchers believe the study findings contradict the idea that people can only recover from the disease if they’ve had the disease for a shorter period, less than six years, and believe that intermittent fasting could help patients lose weight and possibly recover from type 2 diabetes as a result.
