Yes fasting has beneficial health effects. A body can can't handle a constant high food intake.

I read a lot of research last years about the subject, try search for 'fat inflammation'.

Fasting and a more plant based diet seem to reduce chronic inflammation.

Plant based is still under heavy debate, as plants have natural systems (lectins) to protect themselves. We know that veggies are a lot better than a lot of the processed stuff out there, but its a diverse area. A lot of people doing anti-inflammatory elimination diets skip a lot of plants.
