Fasting Boosts Longevity
- Intermittent fasting and eating less often activates the body's defenses against aging and disease.
- Calorie restriction can actually speed up metabolism and increase mitochondrial activity, boosting energy and longevity.
Manage Sugar Intake Carefully
- Avoid excessive snacking and processed sugars to reduce aging impact.
- Replace sugar cravings thoughtfully, possibly with artificial sweeteners, to maintain health benefits.
Stress Has Dual Effects
- Mild biological stress like hunger or temperature extremes can promote longevity through hormesis.
- Chronic emotional stress causing high cortisol is harmful, though short bursts of excitement and small stress levels can be beneficial.
