Can you cheat death with regular fasting?

———————————————————————————————————————

Life extension and anti aging products are becoming more and more popular ranging from diet protocols, to drugs, supplements, workouts and other medical therapies.

One of the biggest and most common claims of life extension comes from the benefit of intermittent fasting (up to 30-40 years life extension)

But how could we ever actually measure this? It would take at least an entire lifetime to know if it actually works.

The only way to prove if something actually works for life extension would be to study someone for their entire life (and a long one at that!) How could we ever do this?

It seems that life extension therapies or techniques aren’t something we could actually experiment or test just yet.

The best we can do is find centenarians (people who live to at least 100) and super centenarians (people who live to at least 110) and ask them how they did it!

P.S. If you want to hedge your bets and give intermittent fasting a try then I would always recommend Eat Stop Eat as the best way to test it out.
