- Fasting studies suggest it can improve your health and lifespan. But one hurdle remains: very few people want to do it. Now scientists are finding ways to mimic a fasting state without actually fasting.

20 hrs no food 4 hrs food ....3 months 35pounds lost... 2cold showers a day ....no smoke drink 30 yrs....78 yrs ..old feel fantastic
I do Thursday-Sunday 72hrs really two days sans food. Carnivore beef 🥩 only rest time 2X day . First @ 10:00 AM large then 3:00PM left over steak really. I buy the big ribeye.
So you don’t drink or smoke ?
30 yrs nothing
Never!!
Listen...the keys to the fountain of youth are as follows...one meal per day...drink only water...no caffeine after lunch...no candy or cakes...no soft drinks...93 years old and I just knocked out 16 strict chinups and 33 strict pushups...I bet there's lots of college kids that can't do that!!!
They just showed a few centenarians, who said they eat whatever they want and not a word about fasting, and then somehow magically connected this to fasting. Ridiculous.
they are paid to deliver a video for a certain amount of time, that's why the pace is so slow and full of filler content
True they don't fast, they all eat fresh produce and eat small amounts of food
Whichever way you cut it, they eat less and healthier which is the main point.
My father-in-law is 102 & mom-in-law is soon 97, they never have special diet. They eat traditional danish food and still not so sickly. One thing I notice is that they use their bodies a lot. They biked, exercised and walked. They trained until they're in mid 80's. So I think that eating natural foods and exercising is important for longivity.
A case study of 2 is hardly a study. What science shows its more important how much you eat rather than what you eat. Fasting is shown to heavily increase your healthspan and lifespan.
Yes true ,if u alot move (activity )n eat right even u eat 4times a day can be healthy too
@@yantisudi7789 being healthy and living longer are not the same thing. Eventually you get less healthy as you age but you can appear healthy eating 4 times a day yet compared to a person that eats once a day you are on limited timer. (also depends how much you eat but frequency is much more important)
How horrible for them.
@@princeofexcess OP wasn't implying that it was a study. 🤨🙄
Fasting has literally saved my life. Autophagy took care of my loose skin. The results are quite fabulous.
Did you have loose skin before and lost it because of fasting?
Or did you lose the weight by fasting in the first place?
@@Siegbert85 Both actually. When I started fasting I already had a lot of loose skin and it became worse . However i have been fasting for five years now and all that loose skin has gone away. I eat once a day and fast once a week and of course i never snack or drink anything sugary. It was very very difficult in the beginning at the age of 60 however I am aclimatized now.
@@user-mi7zx2ki5o Oh wow, you're 60?
That's even more amazing then. Thanks for sharing!
@@user-mi7zx2ki5o That's amazing, I found it hard enough to break my terrible habits and lose weight at 16, let alone 60. Congrats!!
@@BayLeafff Thank you lots of luck and love
I've lost 29 lbs in 2 months from intermittent fasting. I feel great! My arthritis pain is almost gone. I feel more awake and alert.
Autophagy is one of the main benefits of fasting and the increase in health as a result.
Europe also has very strict food restrictions (i.e. no preservatives, coloring, etc.) The U.S. food is substandard compared to the food in Europe.
Who told you Europe has no food colourings or preservatives!!! Get real ! Of course they do.
Dr. Fung and other researchers are finding that you don't have to do crazy long extended fasts to reap the benefits.
Intermitent fasting is amazing. I do it daily without even thinking or planning for it. I work late night…wakes up at lunch then eat before 6Pm and thats it. Simple and less work
IF best invention ever. Next my GPS.
I have been doing 17/7 IF, (9 am Breakfast, 4 PM Dinner) (Nuts, seeds, eggs with greens and mushrooms, berries and yogurt for breakfast) (Veggies, Avocado and small portion of Protein (Fish or Chicken) 8-9 cups of water. I use Ghee for cooking, and Olive oil for greens. 8-9 cups of water thru the day and tea in the morning. No sugar at all! I'm up at 5 am, walk 2-3 miles 10-15 minutes of exercise each day. 57 years old Male.
Wow!! Lovely Great examples I'll try some of that myself. Thanks again
I love love love fasting!!!! I feel so much better when I do a full water fast at least one day a week. It’s wonderful! 👏🏽
That's awesome. Every month have you considered doing a 2 or 3 day fast? You go to the next level =)
I’m 37 years old. I’ve been intermittent fasting (14hr) since I was 17. So 20yrs now. I’m still the same exact weight. Basically the breakfast in my university hostel was so bad that I skipped it and now I haven’t had breakfast for 20 years.
No food between 10pm-Noon.
So you eat from 12 to 7 ? What's your window
8. ..12 eat then water + cold shower twice a day no smoke drink 3months now 35 pounds lost 78 yes old feel great
Me too but without fasting (though, I'm slightly younger than you). Can't imagine what will happen to me when I do 😂
What does that prove?
I've been eating between 1800 and 2500 calories per day for the past 10 years and I'm still at the same weight of 160lbs. No intermittent fasting. Periods of 3x/week resistance training, alternating with months without exercise. 🤷
Was relatively skinny all my life. Never could gain weight. Developed a change of taste and smell 4 years ago. Food didn't appeal to me, almost couldn''t bear to eat things. Lost 15 lbs and can't gain any weight back, but I have stayed very physically active and found that I can live just fine on about half of what I used to eat. Just had health check-up and result was very positive as indicated by a full metabolic panel, healthy heart indicators, etc. I'm in my 80's.
I haven't eaten anything in 50 years and just drink sparkling water. Just had a health checkup and the doctor said I have the body of a 20-year-old. I'm in my 90's.
that's amazing
@@anewbeggin I haven’t eaten anything since I was born, and my doctor told me that I have the body of a 25 year old triathlon. I’m 100 btw!

@@biohacker7968 I have now reached 100 years old in the span of a few days. I have ascended to the next level.
I have haemachomatocis, high blood pressure and a few other bits and pieces I've picked up in 60 years. I'm not over weight and have had tough manual work since early teens. I was put on medication and had problems, then more medication to sort out the problems of the first medication.
I gave up alcohol and began eating once a day. One year later I'm now off medication altogether, I feel like a teenager again with plenty of energy. This month I have fasted for 7 days, I've lost 5 pounds and feel wonderful. My food bills are practically nothing and I have no medical expenses.... Now my doctor wants me to encourage others to do the same.... I highly recommend fasting to anyone that thinks it would help. You will see your body change in weeks and feel all the better for it.
That's fantastic! I'm curious what you eat for your 1 meal? Is it calorie dense?
18 hours fast on weekdays. High pace running 3 days a week. Your body will thank you.
On my feet from 6-4pm, no food. First meal at around 5pm, every day except weekends. Reversed type 2 diabetes completely. It's all about insulin sensitivity
Woah dude!! That's amazing! 😳
Ditto, minus the Diabetes, but it runs heavily in my family.
It's always important to note that if you are going to fast, you still need to eat nutritious food, especially if you are doing 16 hours or 20 hours. You can't expect to be healthy doing IF while eating fast food.
Dear doctors can one fast while taking medication
What's the point of living long without friends and family members? My father who made it to 93 always said that.

Some people like being alone.
Depression can be caused by a brain chemical imbalance, it can also be caused by being surrounded by arseholes. Just be thankful if your "friends" and family are not like that, sometimes circumstances mean that you end up being surrounded by unpleasant people not of your making or choosing, and in that circumstance, being alone is better.

18 months of time restricted eating. i eat between 4pm and 7pm only. Whatever I want and as much as I want. I have lost 60lbs, feel great, and my lab work is fantastic.
Yes I practice I.F. but also the benefit I get is that I am healthy and feel a lot younger than my 70 years, in fact I feel better than I did in my 40s.
There’s a great little book on natural healing written by an older man who cured himself of a number of maladies without medical intervention, called My Physician, Myself. I read it a couple of years ago but lost my copy. I’m going to Amazon right now to order one and be more careful with it. It’s more than worth the read.

I feel the most important is to control your portion sizes, meal times, active life style and reduced stress. It's possible in towns in Italy where lifestyle is more relaxed and less complicated. Not sure if it's possible in a city or town that requires a lot of responsibility.

I won’t suggest fasting every day but if you can train yourself to not eat or drink anything for at least 24 hrs once a week you’ll feel much better. Depression and mental health also improves. You’ll have more self control when it comes to life in general. I thoroughly recommend it.
I’ve fasted for 7 days very month. Eat clean. Workout. Don’t smoke or drink.
And the depression has taken over my mind and my soul.
So in other words, you’re a liar.

When I was physically active I ate three full meals and snacks in between but the work culture was extremely stressful and the toxic lifestyle led to a cancer scare. After my treatment I decided to quit my job and focus on getting back my health. I've switched to mostly plant based, but diary included because I take A2 cow milk products which are beneficial, cut out packaged foods and make my own food from scratch (part of it grown in my backyard), in fact as part of slow living I'm even milling my own spices to cut out all chemicals and artificial colors. Also, I now eat two meals a day, lunch and dinner, and live more consciously.
I've ranged in my 30's i ranged in weight from 200-275 lbs. At the height of it, I decided to fast for 4 or 5 days at a time while doing low impact cardio. I have always been able to go long periods without food. I ended up dropping 7 lbs a week all the way down to 215 lbs. Since then I stick mostly to 1 meal a day, and if I put any unwanted weight on, I fast for a day here and there and literally walk the weight off. If your body isnt spending its energy trying to break down food you consumed, other beneficial processes kickstart. No doubt such processes extend life.
5 days in a row no food?
How often do you do 4-5 day fasts a month?
I believe just eat in moderation and stop with the junk food. Cut out the sugars. Portion control is also key. You'll live long.
I don't even eat dinner. Just not hungry anymore. Once you adapt to the lifestyle, it gets easy. I don't call it fasting. I'm not doing it purposely. If I want a snack I'll eat. But I don't over eat like most people. We eat way too much food.
That sounds straight to the point and accurate
My friend intermittent fasted and
Got cancer
Totally sensible and no hype.
@@johnwurf9016 That's called an n=1 study. It means nothing. Sorry about your friend though.
I’m 61. Take no medications. Have been vegan since age 55. Cheat occasionally/rarely with pizza or potato salad or yogurt. I don’t skip breakfast because I’m very hungry when I first get up. I eat a lot of salad and fruit. I am trying to avoid what I saw happen to my parents and grandparents who ate the Standard American Diet. They lived to between 80-90 years old basically but suffered from high blood pressure, heart disease and strokes and took medications daily from about age 50 onward due to these ailments. Not only did the ailments weaken them, but the medications also took a toll on their health.
I must be weird or something but I don't want to live to be so old, and I don't understand people who do. I'm 62, fit my whole life, on 0 meds. I'd rather check out early, ready for the promised land!
@@sherlhoeppner2392 I plan on going to the Promised Land, too. And it’s nice if all of us could just close our eyes one day and wake up there the next day. But that is not guaranteed. Most likely, illness will be part of our lives as we age. To minimize the occurrence, duration, or degree of illness, it is best to take a proactive stance and eat right, exercise, have healthy relationships, etc. Otherwise, the trip to the Promised Land could be preceded by diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney failure, cataracts, arthritis, cancer, etc. I would rather not need bypass surgery, stints, open heart surgery, amputations, dialysis, knee/hip replacements, chemotherapy, kidney transplants, etc. before I arrive at the Promised Land.
@@sherlhoeppner2392 It's not just about illness, too, though that is definitely a part of it - it's about losing loved ones - family, friends...ageism...perhaps losing some independence or hobbies that one can no longer do (for eyesight or co-ordination often does decline, it doesn't have to be a catastrophic illness).
I've known many 85+ who are ready to die. They've lived a full life, they've lost loved ones and it's difficult to make friends at that age; society sees you - if they see you at all - as redundant, a burden, an "old fogey". Our elderly aren't respected, nor is their wisdom or stories admired in western culture.
Perhaps culture will change as the baby boomers head into their 80's, we can only hope.
Most of a certain age were very attuned to death at a young age; they may have lived on farms and had livestock, or seen parents/siblings/family/community members die of what we now find treatable. Dying is not shameful or giving up; it's a part of life. Of course there's nothing wrong with wanting and trying to improve one's health, looking ahead into old age; but methinks some of this has to do with the incredible fear of death.
While intermittent fasting may not work for everyone, it was able to work for me. When I was 27 I was overweight by about 45 pounds. Between intermittent fasting by skipping breakfast and not eating until around 1 or 2 most days of the week and exercising I was able to lose 50 pounds and maintain my weight. As long as I skipped breakfast most days, I was able to eat anything and not gain weight. Didn’t know intermittent fasting was a thing when I started, but it made sense later how and why it works. Been fairly healthy for the last 3 or so years now.

It was a pleasant surprise to see the US funding fasting research!

@@drseo5539 I did a 5 day and 4 day fasts between my bypass and liver cancer surgery and now five years later at 74 I have trouble even doing a 36 hour fast, which use to be easy.
I'm not sure you can eat your way to health without some form of fasting. Even an 18 hour time restricted eating window isn't easy.
The only reason I can see is that I am preparing for the food shortage.
@@LR-je7nn My guy, I've never fasted for over 20 hours. I'm pretty sure your former self must've been augmented by the framework of liver cancer and emphasised a need for extreme correction. I can see a 36 hour fast being easy when the alternative is death, but now at 74 and being clear of its imminence (at least for the meantime) I can see how it would be much harder to commit to.
The best way to prepare for a food shortage is bulk-buying rice and other gains & cereals imo. All you need to wait out a food issue are carbs. But fasting 6 hours a day for instance might highly increase your odds at survival.
I might only be writing this much because you mentioned being 74, and I'm absolutely elated to be having this conversation, but I wouldn't let my mind worry too much about a food shortage. The international agricultural supply chain is currently too heavy to allow all Americans to go through an actual famine.

Have you ever tried a fasting regimen? 🍖 If so, why?
i do fasting ramadan
Well we Muslims have been doing it for the last 1400 years.
Read Qur'an. You'll get the answers..
Yes. Circadian fasting, ie eating during daylight hours. Better everything
IF since 2020 - open window midday and finish eating by 8pm - vegetarian. Lost weight kept it off - never going to stop.
In my late teens until my late twenties, I enjoyed a voracious apatite, eating the usual three large meals a day and snacked a lot, but I was always conscious about what I ate (grew up in Sardinia, La Maddalena, born in Rome though). I’m 36 now, and usually just have a large lunch or dinner. Sometimes I snack on some eggs, a fruit, or some yogurt, but that’s about it. I’m also lucky that I don’t really get a sweet-tooth and don’t really enjoy sodas or juices. I think sugar and vegetable fats are likely the culprits of the vast majority of ailments today.
I hate that way too when I was young and then my metabolism slowed down and I couldn’t eat like that anymore 😅

We're sorta on the same page (and have been). How long have you been doing this OMAD fasting?
I disagree with Dr Lingo. I've been on OMAD for most of my life before I knew it's supposed to be beneficial to my health. I just couldn't eat more than once a day. I'm 59 & look 45...go figure.
Sinclair is right🤩
yeah right, keep tellling yourself you look 45. lol
I think that western society makes one huge mistake, they treat everything as a kind of race. This diet is better, that eating pattern will make you healthier, IF, paleo, keto, vegan, whole grain etc. etc. But you can clearly see from those centenarians they have a very peaceful way of living, little stress, no races, no internet and media around them constantly. This is probably a very big part of it as well
How do you know these people had less stress. I am sure they expereinced World War 1 and 2 as Italians. I am sure their life was very stressful.

the best fasting is no more food between 6pm-6am or 7pm-7am or 12 hours at night to next day.

I fasted for. 19 days... Ended up with refeeding syndrome... Elevated liver enzymes. I would never fast for longer than 5 days anymore.
my cousin's granny was 113 when she died, and heard about a lot of people who lived long and were related to people I know
Fasting made me lose appetite for food totally resulting in dramatic weight. For while feeding myself became an act of work. It was scary. Have to be cautious.
You probably didnt fast for long enough to be truly hungry. True hunger comes from a feeling in the throat. Most of the time it is not harmful to fast up to 30 days and after couple of days your appetite will be severely suppressed.

I resonate with so many of the comments here. Most of the centenarians I know have only had natural diet and a somewhat simple life. Trying to make some kind of super diet to add "100 years" as one of the stuff you want seems very disturbing.
I'd say we as humans can build upon our knowledge base. Nothing disturbing about that. Einstein stood on the shoulder of giants. We can do better than our prior humans.

Best comment.
YES, fasting will improve your health and you should therefore live longer.
they should also be studying a lot of monks in laos, because i heard that there are so many monks. these monks only eat once meal per day and they use their body to starve for food. i was asking my cousin who is a monk, and he said so many temples, he visited/ing, older abbots are in their late 80's and starting 90's. for example, my mother's youngest uncle just turn 107 year old, back in xieng khouang province, laos.
if you looking back in time, 100 years ago, people were starving and that was a lot of people's motivation, it seems around the depression time that really hit hard and they just retain that same motivation with "less of food more of life."
This is one of the best studies and Fasting and Autophagy is the process that will make the body stronger and live longer healthier. Gerard Rotonda

That sucks. I've been intermittent fasting 16 hours a day for 5 years and now this guy is saying it might shorten my life which gives me anxiety. Very frustrating.

Also in the old scripts they wrote in the morning eat like a king ,noon eat like prince , evening eat like a peasant.
@@TerrifyingBird actually there is evidence to back it up. Although cereal is one of the worst foods you can eat there is evidence that breakfast follows our circadian rhythm. Our digestive tract is most active in the morning. Your body releases hormones that are important in caloric intake and increases energy consumption. This all points to the fact that our bodies naturally prepare for food.
This is all pretty important evidence.
Although i personally skip breakfast. It is hard for me to eat one meal a day if I only eat breakfast. And restricting how much you eat is more important.
Based on today knowledge it seems to me that heavy exercising just balances the amount of excess food we are eating. People are lifting tons of weight, running hundreds of kilometers just to get rid of kilocalories consumed before. That is lot of stress by extra calories followed by more stress on physical load, over and over again. Intermitent fasting, reduced caloric intake and an active lifestyle makes more sense to me. Don't be afraid to be hungry from time to time, the last thing we should be afraid of is to die from hunger these days. Generations have grown up without knowing what really hunger is. People are eating not because of hunger, but out of habit, three times a day, plus snacks in between, that is insane. I am hiking in high mountain range, no food all day long, just one meal at the end of the day. You wont believe it, it's much easier this way. 50+ years, no pound of extra weight on me, I wasn't seriously ill for decades, my physician doesn't know me by name.
I agree one hundred percent. I have an active job and manage with a sandwich for lunch at around 2pm and dinner at 8. No snacks in between. Everytime I have had breakfast in the past I feel low energy. I feel lighter in my feet and more focused if I don’t break fast.
A bit misleading to talk about centenarians who haven’t and don’t fast themselves…
Who wants to live that long in this horrible world? I long for the freedom and transition of my journey forwards into the other worlds
Deeply saddened to hear such truth
Make sure it's with Jesus...

My wife's grandmother lived to 99. She always ate healthy, never ate candy
and chips, and was very thin.
Walter - what are you referring to in regards to Daily IF?
laughter is certainly something that helps someone get to 100yo. sadness certainly does not help.
My wife laughed and all the fools fasting including myself. Her gym instructor convinced her and after several years trying to lose weight she has finally done it after just a year of skipping breakfast.
Intermittent fasting just feels natural to me. Though I love breakfast foods, I've never felt like eating breakfast in the morning, even when I was a kid. Now I eat "breakfast" at noon, and I don't feel bad about it.
What I dont get is why anyone would want to live this long. What wonderfulness is waiting for me between 90 and 100?
Very little and weighed against the misery of a failing, ageing body, none! I've seen it within my own family. My husband keeps asking me to shoot him when he reaches 80. Not happening, but I understand his reasoning. He's witnessing his 85 year old mother die very slowly of motor neurone disease, robbed of speech for 4 years, of movement for 2 but her heart is still beating. She's alive, but at what cost and suffering? And his friend's wife, in her 60s, dying slowly of dementia, bed ridden, blind and unable to communicate. I'm also witnessing the toll it's taking on their loved ones.
This is so funny, many people say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and you say to skip it. lol
It's not funny because you are just propagandized to create more demand.
The food company's are responsible for a lot of propaganda it sells food
"She got legs, she knows how to use them". Goin to that song on youtube right now. By the way, you won't miss breaakfast, two meals works.
The word id break-fast. So u can break your fast when your body desires.
@@AD-ye6mw Exactly!
I eat 4000 calories meal once a day. Chicken, fish, fruits, vegetables and nothing else. Doing cardio 5 hours a week and resistance training 3 hours a week. I'm feeling like I have the limitless pill when I compare myself with other people.
Remove all junk added to the food. Live forever. I bet that is part of it. Also be happy. I strive to be less stress laid back as much as possible. That is part of it for sure. No coal miner lived longer than 40. Average life was around 25 in a mine. That is high stress. Work 100 hours of hard labor, same thing. They are moving everyday and relaxed. My great grandma lived till 107. She ate cookies on occasion, played cards untill the very end. Relaxed and talked with friends all the time. Little TV, lots of reading and crosswords. Visited husbands grave and reminisced with pictures.
No but it will seem too long. Quality is what matters. Being joyful really is the best.
If you have nothing in your life, even at 20 you will feel your life is too long. People who actually want to change the world like Bill gates and musk will do everything to extend their life.
I’ve seen those people doing keto and intermittent fasting together and aged so fast over the years, so I don’t know who to listen to anymore
Really? They aged fast? How many years continuous did they do keto? I eat 1 meal every 4 days. Only keto and preferably carnivore. I look younger at 45 than I did at 28 and much more athletic.
@@veerkar I used to follow dr Eric berg, he is a big proponent of keto + intermittent fasting. I just notice he look frail so fast over the years
@@Wendywonder123 yeah, i wonder about that too. I oth am seeing my wrinkles recede everyday using his ideas. So it depends on who you talk to.
@@pong4life by “his idea”, do you mean Dr berg or Valter?
@@Wendywonder123 Dr Berg - cut carbs, eat healthy oil/nuts, check micronutrients intake, and control protein portion, etc. He covered many topics that many would consider important to a healthy long life. Right or wrong, you can try for a period of time and decide for yourself.
Going to join them..aiming for 130
There’s a great little book on natural healing written by an older man who cured himself of a number of maladies without medical intervention, called My Physician, Myself. I read it a couple of years ago but lost my copy. I’m going to Amazon right now to order one and be more careful with it. It’s more than worth the read. You might look into the work of Luigi Cornaro, a Venetian nobleman who lived to be 102.
For shame, this is a 16 minute advertisement
Thanks 🙏
Great video 🙏🙏🙏
I pray 🙏 to reach 103 years 🙏🙏🙏
I’m on the 27th day of one meal a day, and I feel remarkable change in the body like clearer vision, smoother skin, I gain muscle mass while losing unwanted fats, sleep apnea stopped, etc. I expect more discovery in my body as I continue OMAD journey.
I struggled for the first 15 days when it comes to craving for solid food outside one hour eat window. But, yogurts were lifesaver as substitute for solid food. After 15 days of OMAD, my taste buds and tummy changed. Those croaking frogs in my tummy (hunger pangs) are a thing in the past. If it’s almost 24 hours of me fasting, my taste turns bland like the feel when someone is recovering from an illness. So, it serves as hint for me that I need to break the fast soon.
May I ask what do you eat in the one hour window. What kind of solid food do you eat?
Do you do a lot of smoothies as well?
TL;DR: People that fast, live longer.
Thanks
I would like to be healthy. Just not sure if i want to live that long...🤔
If you are still healthy at 90, you'll want to keep living.
I do 18 to 24 hr Fasts at a minimum, daily. On occasion 36 and 48 hr Fasts... the max I have done is 62 Hrs...
Hi Bloomberg, very interesting video. I’m 86 years old and on Intermittent Fasting [IF 16:8 method] for more than 2 years now. This method Intermittent fasting is a possible way to induce autophagy. Under normal conditions, when the cell has sufficient nutrients, autophagy degrades damaged components in the cell. When fasting starves the cells, autophagy helps digest some of the cell components, to provide the necessary energy for survival. However, late I heard that those 60 years and above should not fast because as we aged we lose muscles [atrophy]. Is there any scientific studies that provide this?
In ancient India we were told to eat brunch at 10:00 A.M and dinner before 7:00 P.M.
I’m on day 13 of a 21 day water fast. I’ve lost 20 pounds already and expect to lose another 10. I wouldn’t be able to do this without electrolytes and trace minerals. I also take vitamins B1 and B3.
Why wouldn't you? My understanding is that a true fast only allows water.
Anyway, nice work. Twenty-one days is a long time. The most I ever fasted when I was younger was a week.
Nah bro a true fast is nothing coming into the body for X-Y amount of time within the 24hr period periodically in X amount of days/weeks/months.... many done a 1 meal a day or 2 meal a day
vitamin supplements have been linked to reduced lifespan due to their preservatives and fillers just fyi
@@Ottee2 I did a 2 days fast without anything (no water), now at my second day I couldnt stand the dryness anymore and drank a cup of ice tea water.. I need to up my game, used to do 7 day water fast then egg omelets im weak at this.. I want to switch to only veg/fruit diet with intermittant fasting naturally not thinking about it but tomorrow will think of kebab roll because Its the last meat I have in the freezer..
@@theyliveinidiocracy6807 - I think the key is practicing. I just finished my 21 day water fast and I believe I could’ve easily gone another 10-14 days because my body was used to it. Before this I did 4 4-day water fasts so my body knew how to adjust. However, without this “ practice “ I think it would’ve been more difficult.
Yep. I've seen the other side to having a fit and healthy body. Definitely makes you exist longer but doesn't necessarily make you live longer. I've been watching a family member suffering from motor neurone disease. They gave her chemo and radio therapy for cancer, for an extra 1 percent chance that the cancer wouldn't come back and give her another ten years. This is her eight years later, unable to speak for the past four years, unable to move for the past two years, but her otherwise healthy body keeps her existing. It's not living in any sense of the word. Then there is a friend, my age, healthy eater, has had early onset dementia for six years, and been bed ridden for the past 18 months after a fall. She can't see because the part of her brain that processes sight was one of the first things to go. She doesn't recognise anyone, can't talk, can't feed herself because she can't remember how to, just calls out unintelligibly all day, but her "healthy body" keeps her existing. Those extra years you gain are not always what you think they'll be.
Fasting is not only about holding our starve. It's more than that. It holds us back from anger, emotion, and desire. And the last one might the reason why people healthier and live longer. 🙏
nice to know
Lets deprivate you from food for a week and see yours emotions then
True. Treating the complaining part of our nature(body) somewhat strictly prevents it from being disobedient to one’s spirit.
You've never met a hangry person.
@@Pazdkq it usually starts from 04.00 a.m. to 05.30 p.m. A week is not fasting, it hurts yourself. There's none of teachings like that.
The video title feels like a setup for the punchline: "No, but it will feel like it."
I'm 3 days into a week water fast. I plan on doing one of these semi frequently. Maybe 2-4 times a year?
FYI after 3 days hunger goes away.. I don’t know how people can’t go without eating for 3 days.. geez no self control
@@robbiebouchart1551everyone is different....
Apparently neither of these scientists has addressed epigentic effects that may be more crucial than anything that an individual does in its life. The centennials might live to that old age mostly due to how their parents and grandparents lived long time before the centennials' birth.
Epigenitics can be an influence, however it is till only up to 30% of influence. Food itself has changed dramatically in the last 150 years, far more processed foods and sedentary lifestlyle.
most of the centenarians never fasted in their lives, how do you explain that?
Because it's got nothing to do with fasting. A Duracell AA gold top lasts much longer the a 99c store special.
So what were the results of the study?
dont we loose muscle in fast, will this work for thin people ? will it hep people with diabetis ?
