Advent started, but does it make sense at all from fasting.Here's what scientists say.
There are observations that the followers of Mormonism suffer less from heart disease. One reason may be the ban on tobacco that their religion requires. But experts believe that the issue does not end here, but concerns and diet. Regular limiting food consumption appears to be a factor for the welfare of the vessels. Even if studies show that skipping one monthly meal said their word for health.
Therefore, experts believe that fasting is a way of promoting health, but are not aware of the intimate mechanism of this.
Some of the customs of Mormons are missing the meals on the first Sunday of the month, and limit tea, coffee, alcohol. Provide your day off during the week.
Scientists have studied the influence of such factors by comparing mormonistite among themselves and with others. Reports are smoking, weight, age, diabetes, indicators such as high cholesterol.
Conclusion reached by that avoiding food even one day a month to rest the pancreas and secrete insulin by him on the one hand, on the other - causing the body to use fat reserves available in the body.
Specialists from the Mayo Clinic, however, warned that fasting slows the metabolism. Subsequent entertainment (as happens during the Christmas and Easter holidays) are used by the body to the reserves rather than burn time.
