Dr. Nivedita Dadu - dermatologist, President of Dadu Medical Center said that when fasting healthily, the body will regulate metabolism, reduce intestinal inflammation and increase the production of antioxidants. These are key factors that help brighten skin and slow down the aging process. During an empty state, the body begins to use stored energy, triggering the process of regenerating glucose from fat and amino acids. This process increases antioxidant activity, protecting the skin from damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress.

However, fasting incorrectly or for too long can cause many serious side effects. The body is prone to fatigue, dehydration, metabolic disorders and even affecting the immune system, bone density and skin health. Some skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis or acne can get worse. A harsh diet or starving your body to lose weight too quickly can also cause dehydration through your skin, affect the cornea and increase sebum secretion - factors that make your skin unhealthy, adds Dr. Nivedita Dadu.

Therefore, if you choose to fast or follow a cyclical health care regimen, make sure your body is still provided with enough nutrients, drink enough water and should not fast for too long or too strictly. Maintaining a balanced diet is still the best way to keep the body and skin healthy for a long time.
