Interesting Ted talk on the role of FOXO in lifespan. Interestingly, fasting stimulates FOXO production. Seems like a probable mechanism for extended lifespans seen on calorically restricted diets.
There is also an increase in HGH levels, but their effect on people with already healthy levels is probably minimal from a life-extension standpoint.
It doesn't seem 100% medically proven at this point, but the preponderance of evidence suggests that intermittent fasting will reduce rate of senescence.0 -
Thanks guys, I will check out those websites.
Thanks again,
