Restricting food reduces the level of serotonin or the hormone of happiness in the body
Although fasting offers a myriad of benefits for weight loss, intermittent fasting has a significant impact on an individual’s mental health, experts say.
Intermittent fasting is a pattern of eating and fasting; If one fasts a day for a longer period before eating anything, one can fast for 8 hours, 16 hours, 18 hours or any length, according to The Times of India.
And if our cells don’t use everything, we store it in our fat cells too, as well as fat, but sugar can only get into our cells with insulin, a hormone made in the pancreas.
Insulin brings sugar into the fat cells, and keeps it there between meals. As long as we don’t snack our insulin levels will drop. The fat cells can then release the stored sugar to use as energy; Thus we lose weight if we let our insulin levels drop.
The whole idea of intermittent fasting is to allow insulin levels to drop enough and for enough time to burn our fat, according to Harvard Medical School.
According to experts, intermittent fasting can affect the mood during fasting due to a decrease in the blood sugar level, and an increase in cortisol, or stress hormone, in the body.
Food restriction can also affect the level of serotonin, or the happy hormone, in the body. For this reason, one should consider simple forms of fasting, such as keeping his number of hours few so as not to affect his mental health.
