Intermittent fasting

[Jon]

Fill your boots Doc, as we say in the UK.

Fasting...just don’t see the benefits. I like to eat too much and it would go against everything that brings me joy!

 

[Jon]

I am a foodie myself, so I do sympathise. There is a type of fasting where you just try to keep your eating within an 8 hour window. e.g. between 12 noon and 8pm. It helps trigger the Sirtuin genes which are anti-aging.

Now I could possibly do that...getting old SUCKS

I find I put on weight much more easily nowadays. So I have to watch what I eat. The alternative is making myself prone to illness.

Gent, you are right... getting old really sucks. But getting younger isn't a reasonable alternative and the third possibility is that you stopped getting old. Which usually isn't a good thing either.
