10 Benefits of Fasting
Fasting Benefit #7: Increases Longevity and Slows Down the Aging Process
The goal is to live a healthy and long life. Daily exercise, a well-balanced diet, physical and emotional health is usually the recipe for that. Now add intermittent fasting. A new study from Harvard University has shown how fasting can slow the aging process, and increase one’s lifespan. It focused on the basic biology that showed how cells cannot process energy over time which leads to disease. Researchers found that restricting the diet of worms maintained the mitochondrial in a young state. These then communicated with peroxisomes to restrain fat metabolism. This helps slow down the aging process at the cellular level.
