Question: What to write in the method section of the research proposal paper below? I know what method means, I need to know what to write exactly in the method section.

Fasting Improves the Health of People

People all around the world have practiced fasting, which is a period of not eating or drinking anything other than water. From a purely physiological standpoint, "fasting" can refer to a person's metabolic state after not eating for hours, days and even months or the metabolic state obtained after a meal has been completely digested and absorbed.Renewed interest in fasting regimens is evidenced by a plethora of popular press publications and diet recommendations. For example, in 2013, Mosley and Spencer published a best-selling book titled "The Fast Diet," which touts the benefits of restricting energy intake severely for two days a week while eating normally the rest of the week.

The aim of this study is to convey an outline of the purpose of intermittent fasting and to sum up research that has been done explaining the health benefits tested on the involvement of humans who participated in this study. We summarize significant rodent studies and reviews because much of the data on intermittent fasting comes from animal models. Most importantly, changes in weight and metabolic parameters linked to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer are among the health outcomes of interest.

.Some studies show that Muslims' fasting greatly affects their health, which Ajibola et al. (2021) researched. Researchers learned that Ramadan or their fasting time can improve their health and have effective nutritional therapy. Studies that show that fasting is also effective for other beliefs come from Spanaki et al. (2021). The researchers studied if people in the Christian Orthodox Church's fasting has a significant effect on the mental health of their people. Spanaki et al. (2021) stated that fasting has a significant healthy and effective impact on mental health in the Christian Orthodox Church. According to de Groot et al. (2019), not only is fasting effective to those with faith, but it also has a significant effect on people receiving cancer treatment. Basically, fasting can be effective in cancer treatment because it can help a patient detox from chemotherapy toxins.

Fasting, then, makes sense so that it is beneficial to people's health and what they believe. Even if religion is not taken into account, fasting is effective as it can help cancer patients in their

treatment. Fasting could not only help is physically health wise but also mentally.Fasting also has many effects in the intestine, which include boosting regeneration as well as potential uses in any type of ailment that impinges on the intestine, such as infections or cancers," says Omer Yilmaz, an MIT assistant professor of biology.

Another benefit of fasting is weight loss. There was a study done where participants would alternate days to fast.Thirty-two subjects (BMI 20-29.9 kg/m2) were randomized to either an ADF group or a control group for 12 weeks. The results:Body weight decreased (P<0.001) by 5.2 0.9 kg (6.5 1.0%) in the ADF group, relative to the control group, by week 12. Fat mass was reduced (P<0.001) by 3.6 0.7 kg, and fat free mass did not change, versus controls. Triacylglycerol concentrations decreased (20 8%, P<0.05) and LDL particle size increased (4 1 , P<0.01) in the ADF group relative to controls. CRP decreased (13 17%, P<0.05) in the ADF group relative to controls at week 12. Plasma adiponectin increased (6 10%, P<0.01) while leptin decreased (40 7%, P<0.05) in the ADF group versus controls by the end of the study. LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, homocysteine and resistin concentrations remained unchanged after 12 weeks of treatment.

Problem Statement

There's a lot of research stating how fasting improves the health of people. Some things we have to consider is if it benefits all ages and gender. If anyone can tolerate not eating for hours at a time and how to fast safely and properly. Another concept to study is what is considered fasting in order to get the full benefits, some research states for the ultimum health benefit, one must only drink water while fasting. Some people believe that one can consume 50 calories while fasting and still be beneficial. Others believe taking supplements during their fasting period is ok. Something else to consider is if fasting causes muscle loss and if it causes the metabolism to slow down.

Goals

The purpose of this present study is to examine if fasting indeed improves our health and in what ways. To learn if there's the same outcomes of benefits in both gender and different ages of people who fast.What is true fasting? How many hours of fasting is considered a real fast to see and feel all the benefits?. This information will give us knowledge to help understand how this tool can be used with so many health issues. This is a goal of the study because researchers want to know if there is a correlation between people's health with religions and their fasting.
