Fasting is usually referred to as the complete absence of calorie intake over a certain span of time. Fasting is assumed to occur after 8-12 hours since the last meal. It is associated to a number of health benefits including improved cholesterol blood pressure, insulin sensitivity or blood glucose levels.[1]
