Fasting allows the body to rest and the intestines to recover.

Especially good and healthy for people with chronic diseases.

Intermittent fasting is very popular with many people in Germany.

And nutritionists are also in favor of intermittent fasting.

There are many variants, the most popular being the 16 to 8 interval fasting regimen, where success can also depend on the time of day.

24vita.de knows what effect intermittent fasting has on chronic intestinal diseases, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation and flatulence.

Drinking is of course allowed during the fast, preferably water, with a dash of lemon if you like.

Many report feeling “detoxified” and “being fit and more alert” during the fast.

And indeed, the food breaks give the body the opportunity to purify.

As a result, the "good" intestinal bacteria can multiply more easily in order to push back the "bad" germs.
