Fasting for at least 16 hours gives the body a chance to rest and allows blood levels of insulin to drop significantly. Not only does this help burn fat, it can also lower your risk of disease, particularly cancers, diabetes and prediabetes

Dr. Siri Suggests...

Take a SURGICAL PANEL (HIV, HBsAg, HCV) Test or Take a SCLERODERMA DIAGNOSTIC PANEL (ANA, U1 SM RNP, CENTROMERE ABS, SCLERODERMA - 70 IGG) Test
