Mark M is seriously the GOAT on longevity and fasting - note this well if you are new to this arena. He was a public servant and is and was not ever selling anything. Hence he has always told the truth. I listen to many, and virtually all are selling something; books, retreats, clinics, veganism, programmes, you name it. What they’re saying is gently promoting what they’re selling, even if they’re just selling a concept they subscribe to. Mark M is just reporting the science. He is the best source.
Mark Mattson has helped me in many ways, I discovered his Talks online many years ago. while others took his findings and wrote books and t.v podcasts etc etc making them a lot of money he continued to help running trials and using his data to benefit everyone, and for this and your hard work I Salute you sir. I am living with multiple sclerosis for 30 years now although i am not as mobile as i was , I used to fast every monday just water now with his data of fasting i have developed my own way with some puzzle exercises i challenge my brain keeping it as fit and healthy as possible as it ages over time.

Buddha wrote about fasting 2500 years ago with fasting practices resemble intermittent fasting: "I do not eat in the evening and thus am free from illness and affliction and enjoy health, strength and ease."
Its amazing to see how fasting is compulsory in many religions specially islam and how Prophet Muhammad ( PBUH ) used to fast other than fasting month and his life tells how strong he was mentally and physically.
That's why Loard Buddha (we don't just call Buddha as it's less respectful) recommended monks to finish solid meals before noon, Buddhist monks can take only drinks such as tea, water after noon!!

Alternate day fasting is not quite the same as intermittent fasting every day. Intermittent fasting involves eating food every day, but restricting the eating timeframe to something narrow such as 8 hrs.

There is a very good description of the evolution of the early animal including humans and its effect on our nutrition in "Nature Wants Us To Be Fat," by Richard J. Johnson, MD, who is a nephrologist, a fructose and uric acid researcher, and whose "The Switch Diet" also includes favorable comments on fasting. Sorry, I can't remember what discussion, if any, he included specifically on the PFC.
Hey, nice vid! 2 questions that came in mind: 1) Does chewing gum break fasting? 2) Does coffee with milk break fasting, you talked about black, cream and sugar in coffee but how about milk?
Milk can break a fast, but a dash of milk ie. Less than about 50 calories, will not. A quarter of cup of whole milk would break a fast. Skimmed makes no difference as the sugars/carbs in milk, not the fat break a fast.
@@bobbobthingymibob Some seem to say that any amount of milk breaks it. Which is it? Or are they just being strict about it and easier to say it does break than saying how much I can take without breaking it?
@@Lari52289 in the video he says “sugar and cream” sugar clearly, but fat never breaks you from ketosis. However it is easier to be strict as you are trying to avoid an insulin response and thus being kicked out of ketosis.
appreciate his work but talking is painfully slow and hard to listen. the interviewer also doesn’t add much. you don’t have to preface every q w i’m wondering and do the upward projection. important topic, but can do better presenting in podcast era
If you find it too slow, perhaps increase the playback speed under the settings "cog". You can watch a lot more videos with the speed at 2x, but recommend 1.25x up to 1.75x for important / informational videos. Interesting, I felt Sanders did a great job and asked relevant questions. We all have our own idiosyncrasies! Cheers, David
Few years ago when I went to one of those 10 silent meditation retreats, part of the retreat routine was no dinner everyday. At first it was so painful, but after a few days, the pain was lessen and I started to have way more energy. My guess is that, fasting like that tricked my body into a survival mode thinking that I was starving. But of course I was not starving, there was a ton of food for breakfast and lunch at the retreat. And the “energy“ wasn’t actually real energy, but probably more of a motivation that my body used to push me to look for food to survive.
Important question: I just started intermittent fasting. I’m currently doing the 16/8. I fast from 8:00pm to 12:00 noon. Eat time is 12:00 noon to 8:00pm. My question is, when you are in your “feast” period (my 12noon to 8:00pm) how often do I eat? What I mean by how often is EX: I eat my lunch at 12:00noon, healthy snack at 2:00p, healthy snack at 4:00p, supper around 6:00pm and depending on if I’m hungry I will have another healthy snack right before the feast ends at 8p. So I’m pretty much eating every 2 hrs during my 8 hr feast. Is this correct or too much???
We want to try to stop that insulin rush every two hours. I found that if I shorten my window, then I feel great with one meal, one snack, and sometimes dessert. Right now I eat a little over 2 hours, then I shut my window. Also during your fast, make sure that you only drink water, black coffee, or black tea.
@@snowyowlknitter5039 today I went back to just snacking all day... It was kind of terrible.. I feel like I ate way too much I think tomorrow k will keep it simple just fruit and chicken
I would say in your window eat whenever you want. What you eat is far more important. I started with 16:8 and it was tough but I found it just slowly morphed into eating once a day, ie a 22 hour fast, and now it’s super easy. Ghrelin is the hunger hormone. You are re-teaching it when to be high and when to be low. Starting is tough but then boom it’s totally normal and easy. But I say again, WHAT you put in your mouth is super duper important. Far more important than when.
If we want to recreate the “natural environment” of our ancestors, in the view that this is how we evolved and therefore we would be better off, it will take a lot more than changing our eating habits. By the way, what was the life expectancy back then ?
You've missed the point. The idea isn't to literally "recreate" the historical environment. This idea is to intelligently alter certain factors in line with human biological function, not recreate the stone age.
Too bad it will probably take us centuries to develop gene therapies to make the body discard excess nutrients and grow muscle tissue appropriately regardless of activity level. We shame each other for poor diet and exercise, but all that should be necessary is making sure we don't under-consume the important inputs. Maybe we could run ancestor simulations to identify genetic adaptations to our current environment.
I appreciate all of his knowledge EXCEPT that 10,000 years ago information about humans. How does ANYONE know what humans were doing 10k years? The Bible dates back to approximately 6k years.
