It is worth noting right away that this recommendation from nutritionists is very conditional, since it does not take into account other factors on which a person’s life expectancy may depend.
But if we imagine that longevity depends only on health and proper nutrition, then, having mastered the proposed method, anyone can live a whole century, if not more.
This point of view is shared by Walter Logo, professor of gerontology and director of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California.
A 50-year-old man expects to live to 120 years, and longevity itself became the meaning of life for him at the age of 18.
How to eat
According to the expert, it will not be difficult to live a hundred years or even more if you adhere to a special diet.
In addition to a carefully selected diet, the man advises eating no earlier than 8 am and finishing the last meal no later than 8 pm.
Therefore, 12 hours should pass between the last and next meal.
This regime is safe fasting.
What are the advantages?
According to the author of the concept, a diet that imitates fasting allows you to maintain normal cholesterol and insulin levels in the blood, control your weight, and reduce the risk of inflammatory processes.
In the course of research and experiments conducted on rodents, scientists discovered a decrease in the rate of aging in mice “adhering” to this diet.
But in order to achieve similar results, scientists remind us of the need to exclude highly processed foods from the diet.
It is also necessary to maintain physical activity, eat a varied and balanced diet.
