Intermittent fasting was able to promote:
Reduction of fasting insulin
Neutral effect on inflammation markers;
Potent reduction in oxidative stress markers;
Reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure;
Reduction of Hba1c in obese and pre-diabetes individuals;

The results also suggest that the effects of intermittent fasting on lipid profile appear to be linked to weight loss.
In individuals who experienced >5% weight reductions, a reduction in LDL and TG levels was observed.
In individuals who experienced >5% weight reductions, a reduction in LDL and TG levels was observed.
In conclusion, intermittent fasting can be an interesting ally in decreasing cardiovascular risk, as it has the potential to promote weight loss, decrease blood pressure, improve insulin resistance and other markers of metabolic health.
