Could a Feast-and-Famine Diet Extend Life?

Today's short post comes with a very big caveat: before entering into any diet or exercise program, we recommend you consult a qualified medical doctor. 


Of Mice and Men (Women Too):


Researchers at the University of Florida assert that having people engage in a feast-or-famine diet may mimic some benefits of fasting. In some research studies with mice, fasting has been found to extend lifespan and improve age-related disease.


Two important points need to be kept in mind. One, if you're reading this you aren't a mouse; and, secondly, skipping meals and other fasting practices may be problematic for you as an individual depending on your unique medical situation. 


Did I mention it's important to consult a qualified medical doctor before engaging in any diet or exercise program?


If you're interested in learning more about fasting or the feast-and-famine approach highlighted in the University of Florida study, we recommend you research those methods and consult a qualified medical doctor who is an expert in diet and health before deciding to give either fasting or feast-and-famine eating a go.
