Although intermittent fasting can be beneficial for many healthy adults, it is not appropriate for everyone. Certain individuals may face increased risks when fasting and should seek professional guidance before starting.
People who should consult a healthcare provider include:
Individuals with diabetes
People with a history of eating disorders
Pregnant women
Breastfeeding mothers
Those taking medications that affect blood sugar levels
Individuals with chronic medical conditions
While intermittent fasting can be beneficial for some individuals, it should always be approached with careful consideration of personal health needs and nutritional requirements.
