Yeni Bir Yaklaşım Olan Aralıklı Açlık Yöntemleri ve Sağlık Üzerine Etkileri

Son yıllarda popüler olan aralıklı açlık yöntemleri, prevalansı tüm dünyada ve Türkiye’de giderek artan obezitenin tedavisi ve sağlık üzerinde yarattığı düşünülen olumlu etkilerinden dolayı, dikkat çeken konular arasında yer almaktadır. Literatür verileri, alternatif gün açlık, modifiye açlık, zaman kısıtlı beslenme gibi farklı birkaç varyantı olan aralıklı açlık yöntemlerinin, vücut ağırlığı denetimi, bazı metabolik belirteçler, inflamasyon, kanser gibi bazı hastalıklar ve yaşlanma üzerinde etkili olabileceğini göstermektedir. Bahsedilen bu olumlu etkiler, uygulanan yönteme göre farklılık gösterebilmektedir. Bu derleme yazıda, aralıklı açlık yöntemlerinin varyasyonlarından ve uygulanış biçimlerinden bahsedilmiştir. Ayrıca, bu beslenme yaklaşımlarının, sağlık üzerindeki oluşturduğu olası metabolik etkilerin ve bu etkilerin mekanizmalarının tartışılması amaçlanmıştır.

Intermittent Fasting Methods as a New Approach and Its Effects on Health

Intermittent fasting methods which are popular in recent years, are among the issues that attract attention due to the positive effects thought to have on health and treatment of obesity which has an increasing prevalence in worldwide and Turkey. The literature data show that intermittent fasting methods, which have several different variants such as alternative day fasting, modified fasting, and time-restricted nutrition, may be effective on some diseases such as in body weight management, some metabolic markers, inflammation, cancer and aging. These positive effects may differ depending on the method applied. In this review article, the variations of intermittent fasting methods and their application methods were mentioned. In addition, it is aimed to discuss the possible metabolic effects of these nutritional approaches on health and the mechanisms of these effects.
