(Food-Beverage-News.Com, December 05, 2013 ) Morrisville, NC -- Popular author Sharon Daniels is celebrating today. Long a proponent of intermittent fasting she was overjoyed by the recent revelation on Yahoo! that intermittent fasting is considered one of the top healthier diet and exercise trends of 2013.
More than just a trend, the scientific basis for the 5:2 Fasting Diet For Beginners comes from research on aging. For years, scientists have extended the lives of laboratory research animals by practicing caloric restriction - limiting the animals' diets or imposing a temporary fast for specific days of the week or time periods. Intermittent fasting diets, such as the 5:2 Diet which Sharon describes in her book, are the application of this life extension technique to humans. Imagine living 30% longer, and healthier, simply by limiting what you eat.
If it sounds to good to be true, it isn't. According to Yahoo!, "A 2013 review in the British Journal of Diabetes and Vascular Disease suggests that fasting diets not only aid in weight loss but actually may help people with cardiovascular disease by decreasing inflammation, reducing blood pressure, and improving blood sugar and triglyceride levels. The key is following a healthy protocol, as some can lead to a binge-purge mentality, says dietician Alexandra Caspero, RD, owner of weight-management and sports-nutrition service delicious-knowledge."
Sharon Daniels' book, 5:2 Fasting Diet For Beginners is a Kindle-based eBook which has performed quite well since its release this May. Ms. Daniels hopes that the book will continue to assist individuals in leading a healthier lifestyle and achieving their weight loss and wellness goals. The lifestyle changes proposed in the book are made easy by the addition of solidly researched scientific information and delicious recipes that the whole family can enjoy.
