The power of intermittent fasting


Michael Mosley fasted for two days every week

Scientists are uncovering evidence that short periods of fasting, if properly controlled, could achieve a number of health benefits, as well as potentially helping the overweight, as Michael Mosley discovered.

I'd always thought of fasting as something unpleasant, with no obvious long term benefits. So when I was asked to make a documentary that would involve me going without food, I was not keen as I was sure I would not enjoy it.

But the Horizon editor assured me there was great new science and that I might see some dramatic improvements to my body. So, of course, I said, "yes".

I am not strong-willed enough to diet over the long term, but I am extremely interested in the reasons why eating less might lead to increased life span, particularly as scientists think it may be possible to get the benefits without the pain.

People fast for different reasons, the documentary I posted is fasting to improve life expectancy, lower IGF-1, reduce cholesterol and avoid diabetes.

Very true!!!

Fasting has been used throughout history by some cultures as a way to clense the body of impurities. With all the processed foods we consume in today's society, along with the very bad habit of eating three or more meals everyday, some of our bodies digestive system become flooded with toxins as a consequence.
Add to this constant habit of shoving food down the throat, the incorporation of GMO's and some of us are walking time-bombs just waiting for the right catalyst to trigger disease and or death.

Yes indeed, just by eating less calories for two days a week with less protein, a lot of diseases can be avoided.

The documentary is a real eye opener to the way modern diets kill us with feasting and no famine.
