Nowadays in America, we are encountering problems with our food system. The way it’s being processed is affecting everyone. From youngest to oldest, farmers to lawyers and smallest to biggest animal.

But intermittent fasting isn’t as extreme as it seems, and it has been shown to provide a variety of health benefits aside from weight loss—though it can certainly help with that, too.
