#617: When Fasting is Not Good: Medical Minute

The Staying Young Show 2.0 - Entertaining | Educational | Health & Wellness

Fasting and juice cleanses are all the rage, but some research shows it’s not always a good option. This is Judy Gaman and this is your medical minute. Our bodies are designed to handle a varied diet. That’s what keeps our intestines, kidneys, and liver functioning properly. While intermittent fasting is ok for some people, it’s not always a good idea. People who are pregnant, have diabetes, liver or kidney issues should not fast. Even people who take prescription medications have to be very careful if they miss a meal. Fasting with medications can change the metabolism rate of the active ingredient and increase side effects. And if you’re fasting to shed pounds, hate to burst your bubble, but those pounds are most likely water and will come right back. You have the power to live a healthier future!
