Can periodic fasting help us to live long? In this video we hear a little about research in the field.

This video discusses periodic fasting, or intermittent fasting as it is called in English, researchers are currently conducting studies where they try to find out what kind of difference that type of “diet” makes when it comes to a person’s lifespan.
For research purposes, experimental animals have been exposed to shorter and longer fasting periods for several decades, and fasting has, among other things, been able to increase the lifespan of mice by up to 50 percent.

Had you tried periodic fasting if you knew you would live longer from it?

Fast

Fasting or fasting is a period when a person voluntarily or under duress refrains from food and possibly drink to varying degrees. Fasting is mandated in many religions such as spiritual renewal, cleansing process, penance and more. You can also fast for health reasons, sometimes at the request of a doctor, for example before certain types of operations, X-rays or blood tests. It is not entirely safe to fast if it is done incorrectly or to an excessive extent. If you are fasting above, you should contact a doctor or dietitian before starting fasting.
