About this course

IF may help reduce inflammation by promoting autophagy, a cellular cleansing process. Studies suggest IF can improve weight management and insulin sensitivity, both beneficial for RA patients. This approach is not a cure, but a potentially helpful complementary therapy. Weight loss can alleviate joint stress. Improved blood sugar control minimizes inflammation. Consult your doctor before starting IF, especially with pre-existing conditions. Discover if intermittent fasting can improve your RA management. Learn more today!
