3-6 Kimono Rumble: Life in a Parallel World

Again, sorry for the spam.

If you want to blacklist these, you can use either the tag #kimono rumble for just this event, or #xdu event scripts for all these posts in general.

Reminder that these are copied straight from XD Unlimited itself, so any grammatical weirdness, mistranslations, and/or mischaracterizations are not my doing.

Chris Yukine: "Why do we have to do this?!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "This is important, too."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Think of all the lives we could save if we taught the SDF how to fight the Noise."

Chris Yukine: "Like, I get that..."

Chris Yukine: "But what good is it teaching them if they don't even have Gears to fight the Noise with?"

Kirika Akatsuki: "I guess you're right about that..."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Then how about teaching them how to run away?"

Chris Yukine: "Couldn't they just do evacuation drills on their own?!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "Now, now, let's all calm down."

Dr. Ver: "Thank you so much for coming all the way here. I have been waiting for you all with bated breath."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Are you the only one here, Doctor?"

Chris Yukine: "Hey, what's going on? Where are the others?"

Dr. Ver: "Not to worry. Come right this way."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "What's this? I thought we were directly training the SDF?"

Kirika Akatsuki: "What are you up to?"

Dr. Ver: "Hehe. You'll find out once you arrive."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "This is a little suspicious..."

Kirika Akatsuki: "It's real suspicious..."

Chris Yukine: "We've come this far, so we may as well see this one out."

Dr. Ver: "Well of course... Hehe."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Is this... the simulator room?"

Dr. Ver: "After hearing about the training methods in your world, I designed and got this room made as soon as I could!"

Dr. Ver: "What do you think?! Is it not wonderful?!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "So who's going to use this place?"

Dr. Ver: "This is something I made just for you girls. I don't intend on letting the likes of those lowly SDF use it."

Dr. Ver: "You may use it for your training from here on out."

Dr. Ver: "Therefore, I would like for you all to test and check whether it will really help in fighting the Noise."

Chris Yukine: "You could've just told us that to begin with. You want us to fight in the simulator, right? No biggie."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Yup! I'd never read an essay worth a thousand words, you know!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Do you mean only a picture is worth a thousand words, Kiri-chan?"

Kirika Akatsuki: "Y-Yeah, that."

Dr. Ver: "Anyway, let's get started right away."

Dr. Ver: "Wow, it's always so mesmerizing watching you fight. How was the simulator?"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "I didn't notice anything particularly strange. It's quite similar to the one in our world."

Kirika Akatsuki: "I thought so, too. It's just like the simulator we always use."

Chris Yukine: "This place will be great for simulating Noise fights."

Dr. Ver: "I know, right?! I just knew my design would go down a hit!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "The whole self-complimenting part is just like that other mad scientist..."

Dr. Ver: "Now let's keep going! I'll have you fight in a different form of yours!"

Chris Yukine: "A different form?"

Dr. Ver: "Yes, I'd like to gather different data on various Gear forms, so please use the form from when we first met."

Chris Yukine: "Well, I don't mind, I suppose."

Dr. Ver: "I'll have the simulator fire up another battle then!"

Chris Yukine: "Was that good enough?"

Dr. Ver: "That was perfect! Thank you very much!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "We just fought like we usually do. Is that data you got really going to be useful?"

Dr. Ver: "Of course it will. The data I recorded just now will be of great use in countering future Noise!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "I'm glad to hear it, but maybe you're blowing it out of proportion a little."

Chris Yukine: "I feel the same way, too."

Dr. Ver: "I would do no such thing. Anyway, that's it for now. Excellent job."

Dr. Ver: "Hehe... Hehehehe! Haahahaha!"

Dr. Ver: "This is simply wondrous!"

Dr. Ver: "Hehehe! I got so much great data! It shall be the path to my ultimate wish!"

Dr. Ver: "I must fulfill my aspiration!"

Chris Yukine: "Now then. It's nice to be back, but we came back at an odd time."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Hey, hey, hey! I have an idea!"

Chris Yukine: "What is it?"

Kirika Akatsuki: "I wanna go explore the town!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "That's a great idea. We haven't had a chance to look around ever since we arrived here."

Chris Yukine: "Good point. Okay, let's go exploring!"

Chris Yukine: "I'm the oldest one here, so I'll take the lead. Make sure you don't get separated from me!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "Shirabe! Shirabe! Look over here! There're so many cute pets!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "That dress would look great on Maria..."

Chris Yukine: "H-Hey, cut it out! Stop wandering around!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "Whoops... It's been so long since I was able to walk around town like this."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "The shops here are so similar to the ones in our world, it's easy to wander off."

Chris Yukine: "I guess you're right. If no one told me, I never would've guessed this place was a parallel world."

Kirika Akatsuki: "If I had been brought over while I was sleeping, I'd think I was still back home!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Hey, there's a best selling chart at the CD shop."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Maybe Maria and Tsubasa-san are charting? Let's take a look!"

Chris Yukine: "Let's see... Oh, I can't find them."

Kirika Akatsuki: "I guess they're not that popular in this world."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "I don't think that's it. I looked up the past charts, and I don't see their names anywhere."

Chris Yukine: "There aren't any wielders in this world to begin with. Maybe they haven't even debuted yet?"

Kirika Akatsuki: "The people here don't know about Maria and Tsubasa-san's songs, do they? That's a shame."

Chris Yukine: "Now then. I think it's about time we went home."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Yeah. But before that, what do you want for dinner?"

Kirika Akatsuki: "Are we going to ask the Doctor Jekyll? Or maybe get some take-out?"

Chris Yukine: "Nah, either option would just make us spoiled like before."

Chris Yukine: "So let's cook dinner ourselves, starting today!"

Chris Yukine: "All right. That's all the ingredients bought. Let's get started."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "......"

Chris Yukine: "Hm? What's up?"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Look at this fish we bought. It's way, way cheaper than it would be back in our world."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Meat on the other hand feels a bit more expensive."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Yeah. So then if we come to this world each time we need to buy fish..."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Wow! That's a great idea, Shirabe! You've got a real eye for a bargain!"

Chris Yukine: "Hey airheads! Relics aren't meant to be used for shopping trips!"

Chris Yukine: "Geez, let's just start cooking."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Understood."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Okie dokey!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Mackerel with grated daikon radish over a bowl of freshly cooked rice. Miso soup with dried seaweed..."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Spinach boiled in soy sauce, and fluffy potatoes with some salt and pepper. Pure Japanese cuisine!"

Chris Yukine: "That should do it. Let's eat this up while it's still hot."

Chris & Shirabe & Kirika: "Let's dig in!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Wow, you can really taste the dashi stock in this miso soup."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Mackerel with grated daikon is a match made in heaven!"

Chris Yukine: "Nothing beats home cooking. Hey, don't you go skipping your veggies! You need to have a balanced diet."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Aw man..."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi "......"

Chris Yukine: "Hm? Why did you get so quiet all of a sudden?"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Eating together like this reminds me of when we used to eat meals with Mom..."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Mom always ate meat, and soy sauce was the thing she loved most about Japan."

Chris Yukine: "O-Oh... Hey, c'mon now, lighten up a little!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "You're right. If I ate with a frown, then that'd make Mom sad, too!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "We all made this together, so enjoy it together!"

Chris Yukine: "Heh. Now that's how it should be."

Chris Yukine: "It's been a long day, so let's get an early night's sleep."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Will do."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Okay."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Top o' the morning to ya!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Good morning, Kiri-chan."

Chris Yukine: "It's good to see you raring to go, but you were the last one up."

Kirika Akatsuki: "R-Really?! I thought I woke up earlier than usual!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Kiri-chan, do you want your eggs sunny side up?"

Kirika Akatsuki: "Yes! And I'll take some toast, too!"

Chris Yukine: "A message this early in the morning? What happened now?"

Dr. Ver: "Sorry to call you so early, but the Noise have appeared. Please mobilize."

Chris Yukine: "I can't enjoy a nice, relaxed morning in any world, apparently. Hurry up! It's the Noise!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "What?! W-Wait up! I'm almost finish--Mmg! Urgh!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Kiri-chan! Here's some water!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "Phew! I thought I was a goner..."

Chris Yukine: "All right. Let's move out!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Looks like we've taken care of the majority of them."

Kirika Akatsuki: "But there's only plain old Noise here."

Chris Yukine: "You know, saying things like that will only--"

Chris Yukine: "Ah crap, I knew it! Don't jinx things, you hear!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "S-Sorry..."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "You don’t have to apologize. Having them come to us can only be good for the mission."

Chris Yukine: "You know what, now that I think about it, you're right."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Right?! You yelled at me for nothing! You're so mean!"

Chris Yukine: "There, there. I'll treat you to something later."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Oh, okay then."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "That's all it took..."

Dr. Ver: "Everyone, we have more Noise on the way! Be careful!"

Chris Yukine: "I'd better psyche myself up then."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Yup."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "We mustn't let our guard down."

Chris Yukine: "I'll lay the smack down on all those Warrior Noise! Bring 'em on!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "If we defeat them and gather their fragments, we should be able to resolve the abnormality!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "One more remaining."

Chris & Kirika: "Leave it to me!" "I'll take care of it!"

Chris Yukine: "H-Hey! Stay out of my line of fire!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Kiri-chan, look out!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "Huh?"

Kirika Akatsuki: "Aaaaaah?!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "Wh-Whoa... Wh-What was that?"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Kiri-chan, are you all right?!"

Kirika Akatsuki: "It just grazed my face, I think..."

Chris Yukine: "My bad. I didn't think you would jump in like that. You okay?"

Kirika Akatsuki: "Yeah... But that was seriously scary..."

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "It's fortunate you weren't hurt, but you both need to be more aware of your surroundings."

Chris Yukine: "I'll be more careful from now on. So where's the fragment of that Noise we defeated?"

Kirika AkatsukI: "Ah ha! Found it!"

Chris Yukine: "Good. That's all the fragments then. Let's head to the shrine!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "That should do it."

Kirika Akatsuki: "That was a job well done if I say so myself!"

Chris Yukine: "......"

Kirika Akatsuki: "Hm? What's the matter, Chris-senpai?"

Chris Yukine: "Say, you know how this world has no wielders? What would have happened if we didn't show up?"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "The SDF would probably have fought the Noise to try and protect everyone. That's just how this world is."

Kirika Akatsuki: "But it's suicide to fight the Warrior Noise without a Gear!"

Shirabe Tsukuyomi: "Yeah. We know that better than anybody, after fighting them ourselves."

Chris Yukine: "They have no choice but to fight, though..."

Kirika Akatsuki: "Once we gather all of the fragments and go home... What's going to happen to this world?"

Chris Yukine: "That has me worried too..."

The turmoil of Stan Lee: What’s going on?

New Post has been published on https://latestnews2018.com/the-turmoil-of-stan-lee-whats-going-on/

The turmoil of Stan Lee: What’s going on?

After the death his wife, the 95-year-old Marvel icon has found himself in the middle of a fight over his finances and legacy

Stan Lee, the Marvel Comics maestro and co-creator of Spider-Man, X-Men and Black Panther, lives in a world of heroes and villains. But these days, it can be hard to tell which is which.

Few creators have left as profound a mark on popular culture. According to The-Numbers, a box office data site, films featuring Lee’s superheroes have grossed more than $24 billion worldwide. He has a huge Twitter following, and admirers have included Federico Fellini, Ronald Reagan and George R.R. Martin, the author of Game of Thrones.

“Stan is right up there with Walt Disney as one of the great creators of not just one character, but a whole galaxy of characters that have become part of our lives,” Martin said. “Right now, I think he’s probably bigger than Disney.”

Yet at the summit of Lee’s career, storm clouds have gathered. The last year has brought an unsettling mix of tragedy and scandal, including the death in July of Joan Lee, his wife of almost 70 years; suspicions that millions of dollars have been siphoned from his accounts; even gossip reports that a former business associate stole his blood to sell to fans.

Last month, The Hollywood Reporter published an investigation that said Lee, 95, is the victim of “elder abuse,” partly at the hands of his 67-year-old daughter, Joan Celia Lee. The Daily Beast reported that Lee, who is said to be worth around $50 million (Dh183.64 million), was “surrounded by a panoply of Hollywood charlatans and mountebanks” and being “picked apart by vultures.”

A radio talk show in Orlando, Florida, even aired a rumour that he is being “held captive” by handlers who “have him basically locked up in the house.”

But on a recent visit to Lee’s home in the Bird Streets, a celebrity enclave high in the hills of West Hollywood, California, the man himself said otherwise. “I’m the luckiest guy in the world,” Lee said, chuckling and sounding like a 95-year-old teenager. “Nobody has more freedom.”

He also defended his daughter, known as JC, against claims that she has been physically abusive and a financial drain. “My daughter has been a great help to me,” he said. “Life is pretty good.”

A HOUSE IN DISARRAY

For four decades, Lee has lived in a relatively modest two-story house in the middle of what has become some of Los Angeles’ most valuable real estate. Dr. Dre is a neighbour, and Leonardo DiCaprio lives down the block, on a street where houses can list for north of $30 million.

The house is a time capsule of late 1970s Hollywood. “My wife, she’s the only person in the world that I would know of who would put a big mirror on top of a big mirror,” Lee said. “And when she was here, she had so many paintings, all over. Most of them have left now. My daughter took a lot of them, and a lot of them have gone elsewhere.”

It’s the vagueness about what has “gone elsewhere” that has some of Lee’s friends so worried. Since Lee’s wife died last year, his household has been thrown into disarray, with three factions of once-trusted aides vying for control. Lee’s current gatekeeper is Keya Morgan, who has ousted former staff. A former memorabilia dealer from New York, Morgan moved to Los Angeles as the executive producer of the mobster biopic Gotti and now describes himself as a “producing partner of John Travolta.”

Sitting at Lee’s side, he was dressed in a black suit and tie, black bowler hat and dark sunglasses, which he lowered on his nose to see indoors.

In February, Morgan called police to the house to physically remove Lee’s longtime road manager, Mac Anderson, known as Max. Anderson was accused of, among other things, attempting to bribe a nurse to make statements that Lee was being held hostage. “He got into a big fight with Stan and Stan’s daughter” and was fired soon afterward, Morgan said.

Reached by phone, Anderson declined to comment.

Also out was Jerry Olivarez, a Hollywood publicist who briefly obtained power of attorney over Lee’s affairs last year, during which time more than $1 million left the Marvel creator’s accounts. That included a $300,000 check made out to Hands of Respect, a novelty company owned by Olivarez and Lee that makes a $10 lapel pin advocating racial harmony.

In unrelated matters, $1.4 million may have vanished in a series of wire transfers, and a Chanel handbag full of cash may be missing from the house, according to Morgan. Also, a trove of Marvel memorabilia, including character sketches and figurines, is the subject of disputed ownership between Anderson and Lee, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

Lee may be a creative genius, but he isn’t a financial one. “I’ve been very careless with money,” he said. “I had a partner or two who, since I’m not a money counter — I let them take care of keeping track of the money we made,” Lee said, as he sipped a bottle of mineral water to soothe his raspy voice. “Lately, I have found out that a lot of the money we made is no longer available for me. I don’t know where it is, but a guy, and maybe one or two others, have found a way to take it.

“So, I feel bad about it, and of course we have a lawyer trying to get it back again,” he said. “But money isn’t worth losing your cool about, you know?”

SUPERHERO FACTORY

The child of Romanian Jewish immigrants, Stanley Lieber was born in New York City in 1922. He was hired in 1939 as an assistant at Timely Comics, the not-especially-promising division of a pulp magazine publisher that would eventually be renamed Marvel. Following a staff exodus the next year, the newly rechristened Lee (an alias he adopted to save his real name for the great novels he aspired to write) was appointed its editor.

His greatest streak of inspiration began in 1961, when Lee was almost 40 and thoroughly disenchanted with his career. With artist Jack Kirby, he created the Fantastic Four, a hit he bested the next year by inventing Spider-Man with artist Steve Ditko. Among the enduring characters he created over the next decade with those artists, and others, are the X-Men, Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, Doctor Strange and, in 1966, Black Panther: an African warrior-king whose recent film adventure has grossed more than $1.3 billion.

“I’m sorry I didn’t introduce black characters a little sooner,” Lee said. “I tried to create an Asian superhero, I tried to create a South American superhero. And at that point I also was thinking it’s ridiculous that we don’t have a black superhero.”

Asked if contemporary comics and films could be doing a better job of representing women and superheroes of colour, he replied, “yes,” but expanded: “You can’t force anything on the public. But if you do a black hero or heroine and you see that it’s well-received at the newsstand, then you’d be an idiot not to come up with more stories like that. Everything depends on the marketplace.”

Yet Lee may have underestimated his own value in the marketplace. While he has made exponentially more money than any of his Marvel co-creators, he only ever collected a paycheck, and does not receive any continuing royalties from the films based on his characters.

In 2005, he received a one-time payment of $10 million from Marvel, to settle a provision in his contract that had entitled him to 10 per cent of the profits from television and film adaptations. Four years later, Disney bought Marvel for $4 billion; it is unclear whether Lee was able to reap any benefit. (As Marvel’s chairman emeritus, he still receives a salary, reported to be $1 million.)

And while his personal appearances (including charging fans $120 for an autograph) are a lucrative source of income, later-life attempts to create wholly owned superhero properties have foundered. Stan Lee Media, a digital content start-up, crashed in 2000 and landed his business partner, Peter F. Paul, in prison for securities fraud. And Lee is embroiled in disputes with POW! Entertainment, the company he started in 2001 to create new shows, including “Stripperella,” a cartoon starring Pamela Anderson.

POW! was sold last year to Camsing International, a Hong Kong-based company seeking to clone Marvel for the Asian market. Lee says he has not been paid, which the company denies. “Mr. Lee has been paid and continues to be paid by the company,” said Shane Duffy, the chief executive of POW! “Statements like this only heighten our concern for Stan’s well-being.”

As part of the escalating fight, Morgan and Lee’s daughter entered the POW! offices on Santa Monica Boulevard on the night of March 14 and removed items they say belong to Lee. They triggered a silent alarm, prompting POW! to file a police report.

The Beverly Hills police subsequently dropped the burglary investigation, but the fighting continues. “They’re acting as if they bought the company and everything on the four walls belong to them,” said Lee, sounding downcast. “So, another lawsuit.”

AN OSCAR FOR STAN LEE?

Outside the bubble of legal drama and personal strife, however, Lee’s creative influence remains at an all-time high. “There’s no doubt that Stan, in terms of American popular culture, he’s one of the giants of the 20th century,” Martin said. “Spider-Man and Iron Man; the X-Men — they’re still as viable as ever.”

From the floral sofa in his sitting room, Lee is a font of highly entertaining stories from the glory days, even if some of them sound taller than his 1962 creation Giant-Man. Like the time Picasso was so taken by Joan Lee’s beauty that he approached the couple in a New York restaurant and sketched her on their tablecloth. “We ran home to tell my father about what happened,” Lee said. But, “in our excitement, we had left the drawing in the restaurant. We never found it!”

Or the time when DiCaprio told Lee that he had written the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, lobbying for Lee to receive an honorary Oscar for his numerous cameos over the years. (Lee appears in nearly every Marvel movie, including Black Panther, in which he plays a gambler in a South Korean casino.)

DiCaprio also wants to portray Lee in a film about the Marvel creator, according to Morgan, who accompanied Lee on a recent visit to DiCaprio’s house. (A spokesman for DiCaprio would not confirm this account of their conversation.) The thought of a biopic starring DiCaprio gave Lee pause. He looked out over the pool, to the canyon beyond, and pondered being portrayed by an Oscar-winning actor.

“I don’t know if he could capture the essence of me,” he said, after a moment. “We have to talk about that.”

Intermittent Fasting: 6 Benefits of Fasting with Scientific Data

Fasting is often associated with religious norms. Recently intermittent fasting has become quite popular in the weight loss industry. Be it observing a weekly fast in Hinduism or an entire month of Ramadan by Muslims.

However, It is believed that intermittent fasting influences body hormones that lead to weight loss.

From lowering insulin levels to increasing body’s resistance to oxidative stress, there are various benefits of fasting that we come across. So, let’s roll and read how fasting benefits our health and how intermittent fasting is the new cool trick for losing pounds.

Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting is basically a form of fasting where an individual’s eating regime changes allowing a fast of usually more than 12 hours, with a window of eating period of about 8 hours.

That is, you are not eating for 12 hours and try to manage your meals within the given eating period. If you look at it, the idea is not that of any extreme diet situation. You must be clear on one point here is that intermittent fasting is not about starving.

Weight loss through starvation is a misconception that has been ruling our minds forever. To know more about starvation and weight loss check out the video on How a Starvation Diet Makes You Fatter.

6 Intermittent Fasting Benefits

1. Prevents diabetes

Intermittent fasting prevents Diabetes

Studies show that insulin levels undergo significant changes during fasting. In fact, intermittent fasting has shown results of improving type 2 diabetes [1].

4 ways how Intermittent Fasting may help in fighting Type 2 Diabetes

The fasting usually is for 12-16 hours. This time interval allows the glucose in your body to be used up by the body and not get stored instead.

The fasting reduces the time window of eating, hence, the sugar levels go down which in turn, increases the receptivity of the body cells towards insulin. Now the insulin can effectively push out the sugar from the blood.

Insulin levels are lowered because the pancreas doesn’t have to work more to produce insulin when the body is under fasting.

Intermittent fasting helps in losing weight which is an important factor while fighting type 2 diabetes.

Disclaimer: Although the above points do suggest intermittent fasting benefits, for a person with diabetes, fasting can be very critical. Hence, it is particularly advised to diabetics to follow up with fasting diets under doctor’s supervision only.

2. Keeps the heart healthy

Intermittent Fasting keeps the heart healthy

Studies and experiments in animal models have proven that the fasting brings in cardiovascular benefits by improving blood pressure as well as heart rates.

The fasting has also shown improvement in the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides. Although evidence is still not enough when it comes to human, fasting is still considered beneficial in keeping our heart healthy. [2]

3. Weight loss

Intermittent Fasting benefits in weight loss

Well, one of the most sought-after benefits of fasting is looking for weight loss and intermittent fasting is found to be effective in it and that too in a healthy way. 3 major ways how intermittent fasting helps in losing weight are

1.Promotes the function of HGH:

While we look for fat burners to lose weight, we overlook the fact that our body is naturally equipped with certain fat burning hormones. And intermittent fasting just helps in promoting these hormones.

The Human Growth Hormone(HGH) helps to burn our body fat so that we can use it as energy for bodily functions. It has been found that fasting can increase production of growth hormone by 1,300% in women and 2,000% in men [3]. Hence, the fasting helps in weight loss.

2. Balances the insulin levels:

Insulin levels have great effects on body weight. Intermittent fasting, as mentioned above, helps in balancing of insulin levels in the blood.

Insulin promotes fat storage fat cells and prevents the cells from releasing it for energy. Hence, low levels of insulin that intermittent fasting comes with help in preventing fat storage.

3. Helps in reducing hunger pangs:

While observing intermittent fasting, our body becomes habituated in dealing with the time window of eating and somehow our hunger pangs are also reduced.

4. Intermittent fasting improves body cells

Intermittent Fasting improves body cells

Another benefit of fasting is that it is known to help the body cells. The fasting is known to initiate a process known as autophagy, which is basically a cell cleaning process.

This helps the cells remove the metabolizing proteins that are left inside the cells broken and dysfunctional. This cell cleaning method is also beneficial for certain cancers as well as Alzheimer’s disease. [4] [5]

5. Reduces belly fat

Intermittent Fasting reduces belly fat

Another strong factor of intermittent fasting is that it reduces belly fat. According to a 2014 review of the scientific literature, people have shown a reduction of waist circumference by 4-7% in 3-24 weeks while following intermittent fasting. [6]

6. Improves brain health

Intermittent Fasting improves brain health

Intermittent fasting helps in keeping up the brain health in following ways-

Studies have shown that intermittent fasting reduces oxidative stress, which is important for improving brain health. [6]

According to experiments observed in rats, it has been found that intermittent fasting may have the ability to promote the growth of nerve cells. [7]

Moreover, intermittent fasting is found to be useful in increasing the levels of the brain hormone, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).
