Abstract: Fasting, the voluntary abstinence from food and drink for a specified period, has been practiced for centuries across various cultural and religious traditions. In recent years, the potential health benefits of fasting have gained increasing attention from the scientific community. One area of particular interest is the influence of fasting on the prevention and management of chronic diseases, which have become a global public health concern.
Chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain types of cancer, are often characterized by long-term, non-communicable conditions that can significantly impact an individual's quality of life and overall health. The rising prevalence of these diseases has been associated with various lifestyle factors, including poor dietary habits, physical inactivity, and stress. As such, the exploration of alternative and complementary approaches to managing chronic conditions has become an important area of research.
This comparative study aims to investigate the potential influence of fasting on the prevention and management of chronic diseases, drawing on research published recently. By examining the available evidence from both human and animal studies, the study will provide a comprehensive understanding of the potential mechanisms, benefits, and limitations of fasting in the context of chronic disease management.
