Intermittent Fasting

Steve Mount on intermittent fasting, metabolic health, aging and longevity, with a focus on the science.
Intermittent fasting is sustainable; I've been at it for over 20 years.
I agree. It would greatly simplify planning meetings with remote participation.
But there still has to be agreement on standard times.
Are the 9-to-5ers going to be 16:00-24:00 or 17:00-1:00? Would people ever use UTC for things like store hours?
It reminds me of conversion to metric.

And now this. My father had polio when he was a child in the 1930s. He thankfully survived. Many did not. This is, well, evil. Let's not mince words. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/h...

The WaPo article is largely based on Oh et al. in Nature.

"Accelerated heart aging ... 250% increased heart failure risk and accelerated brain and vascular aging predict Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression independently from and as strongly as plasma pTau-181."

You want to look at the original article in Nature.

They did use machine learning models. "nearly 20% of the population show strongly accelerated age in one organ and 1.7% are multi-organ agers. Accelerated organ aging confers 20-50% higher mortality risk."

The life span extension of mutations in insulin pathway genes in C. elegans was an important component of my thinking when I started intermittent fasting. It still is.
