Guwahati, April 15 -- Intermittent fasting means going without food for a few hours each day. After doing it for about a month, your body can start to change in good ways.

Many people notice weight loss first, because the body starts burning stored fat for energy. If you keep eating healthy and stay active, you can keep losing weight steadily.

Your body also gets better at using fat for fuel, which can help your metabolism (how your body turns food into energy).

It may also reduce inflammation, which is good for your overall health and can lower the risk of diseases.

Some research shows it might lower blood pressure and help your heart.
