Here is a link to a very well written and comprehensive article about Mitochondrial Health that you may find interesting:

It highlights many aspects of Mitochondrial Health including intermittent fasting. In recent months, I have read numerous reports about intermittent fasting and one of my doctors recommended I try it. I am now considering adding short term regular intermittent fasting. It actually makes a lot of sense to me to do so (fasting for short periods of time).

Thanks for posting that link. Very interesting indeed! Strongly supports what I am about to start doing intentionally with my diet on a regular basis.

If you think about it, our ancestors (long ago) would have likely gone through numerous periods of time of not having food. Yet they obviously survived.

Although I have been opposed to the idea of fasting in the past, I have since changed my mind. I have been skipping meals on occasion because of my diet as I am rarely hungry and fasting will actually be easy and a bit of a relief to the times when food and the thought of eating is a turnoff to me (happens at least once, if not twice a week).

Eat, Fast and Live Longer with Dr. Michael Mosley



Michael Mosley discusses how fasting can reduce levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and thereby reduce the risks of various diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease.
