  Thank you for this insight! I will stop eating immediately and die looking like I’ve barely aged from today.

    It’s the function of metabolism that makes us age, the process of living.

    So yes, processing food is a key part what uses us and makes us ahe. That doesn’t mean people should stop eating, which seems to be a hard concept to grasp.

      Damn, you should edit your original comment and put that in, I haven’t eaten for a whole 30 minutes now since I read your comment!

      This is really difficult to grasp, almost as difficult to grasp as the concept of a joke.

      Actually to be serious for a second, I thought restricting how much you ate was proven to slow aging but obviously not stopping eating entirely.

        Ha ha yeah, sometimes I misread the tongue in cheek for irony I guess :-)

        Intermittent fasting makes wonders for short lived animals, extending both their lifespan, but, also as important, their health span.

        In longer living animals, like humans, it can make a longer health span, mostly if you’re overweight or a couch potato. Maybe more, there are studies but they are hard to do and obviously takes a long time for long lived animals. It won’t affect a normal lifespan.
