My body knows exactly what it was doing. All this time my mother would tell me to just "eat something, even a little bit" and I could feel my body saying no. It all makes sense now.

I just started fasting 3 weeks ago. I eat 2 meals a day. 10 am, and then at 4pm. Nothing in-between then to 10 the next morning, I start l over again. U have a two hour window to eat on those times. I lost 11 lbs. At one time i have gone 24 hrs without eating. I find that sometimes I don't need or want food. I eat anything and every, but mostly healthy and organic meals. I even one time had ice cream and pie for a meal. So don't deprived yourself. Just have will power as needed 😊

Keto fasting from 5pm to 11am -life changing no sugar, no dairy limited carbs ! - skin amazing - energy -Depression /aniexty left - helped sleep - focus. This probably doesn't count for what you guys are saying but what little i did was rejuvenating . It showed inside and outside. .
As lifestyle changed after retired from quite physical work/lifestyle eventually had to go back to old eating habits much much less processed & even lesser hours consuming nutrients in 5-6 hrs only. Eating after 5 pm to be very bad for me period. I tried to be in bed early 930. 90% no meat/diary/ processed commercial. still working on less.

In addition to the arts, civic advancements, architecture, civic organization, and the general love of beauty ( Le maladie de Stendal the illness from a surfeit of beauty in Italy) . And then... the widespread human connectedness of Italians!

I plan to break the fast tomorrow. I feel like am reborn!! Am in awe of fasting. And from here, I'll be on intermittent fasting all the way.*
Thanks for all the details :) I've been doing fasting, mostly intermittent fasting for 6 years already quite regularly, and it's really working for better health and digestion :)
There are more and more evidence about the health benefit of fasting. this is the beginning of my learning how to and I'm very grateful still practicing it and benefit from it. Thank you!

I fast every third day. Lots of water is key. Water staves off hunger and promotes SUPER-hydration. This is heavenly knowledge...find your own frequency--rhythm...
I am doing fasting from 8 years age, one month per year for of course religious reasons. But I never know its health benefits. In-fact I was started to think, fasting is bad for health. Wow, you have opened my eyes.
I am of your religion but when we break our fast, the carb-laden food counterattacks and kills all of the benefits of fasting. Our Prophet MOHAMMED (SWT) was extremely healthy and don't believe he ever gorged on fried food and plethora of dishes when he broke his fast. Just a food (pun intended) for thought. :)) salaam Brother.
I wonder if that's why when some people get sick an we stop eating because we are not hungry....if that's the bodies way of healing itself by us not wanting food?? I was so sick week ago with a severe headache couldn't even function. Then got really sick for 3 days an vomiting bile an didn't eat for 3 days. The body is amazing.....GOD made us perfectly!!
I had the same experiences. I get sick (GI problems eating too much) then I stop eating for 2-3 days. I lose 10 pounds, feel great then fall back into my old habits (eating too much). I now am getting eating under control thanks to VA class. Smaller portions, mindful eating, etc. Feeling great. Living pain free. Pain is a strong message from your body that YOU are doing something wrong. Do not ignore pain, no matter how small. Take control of your healthcare
COM DRIVE I was influenced by watching the BBC Horizon episode entitle ‘eat fast and live longer’ with Michael Mosely. Found it interesting as it was actually backed up by sound medical research. I have adopted much of his advice given in his two books published on the subject. ‘ the 5:2 and the fast 800. I haven’t got the strength to do without food for extended periods, so the intermittent fasting works well for me. I have lost some weight although wasn’t particularly overweight in the first place. I find the improvement come in the way of more energy, concentration and generally feeling more upbeat. I’m sure others could add many more positives to the list. Lately I’ve been adding in some OMAD or one meal a day. This also has similar results.
@@oneperspective I hear an improvement from IF is that when you lose weight it's harder to put it back on compared to traditional calorie counting, which wouldn't affect the hormones as much. That's awesome. I'm on IF for 8 days now and I feel a lot more upbeat
COM DRIVE yes I’m sure that’s true. As far as I can tell after doing IF for some time the body educates itself to appreciate healthier foods too. Vegetables and certain fruit preferable to the western calorie heavy options.
@@theoathman8188 We knew thousands of years before that verse was written. Even the ancient Chinese who followed Taoism practiced fasting. Did the Quran add any new information to global knowledge on fasting?

" [Fasting for] a limited number of days. So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - then an equal number of days [are to be made up]. And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] - a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day]. And whoever volunteers excess - it is better for him. But to fast is best for you, if you only knew." 2:184
@@theoathman8188, the first verse is confusing to me. Are believers in Allah not aware of His existence, so they need to fast? Or does it mean that fasting helps Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Agnostics and atheists acquire awareness of Allah?
An absolute fabulous talk!! 👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you so much for the clear & concise way you brought us through your story. Very well done!! I received SO MUCH information to apply to my personal health as well as incredible useful information for my business! My business focuses on autophagy. Thank you 🙏🏼
Dr. Longo's talk on the Rich Roll podcast is very intriguing as well if you like this. He's a proponent of eating mostly vegan, and pescitarian 2-3 times a week. Not Keto. Read his book the Longevity Diet. Might sway the keto folks over. I eat like he suggests, and usually lots of good quality carbs daily. Still losing weight even when I don't workout. His book is worth a look if you want to avoid disease and live past 100.
I've done 16:8 and 20:4 IF fasting on a daily basis for almost two years. Got my BMI down to 20 the first month. I feel great and it's so easy to do. But, when I mention it to most other people, they totally freak out and say they could never do it. They have every excuse in the book.
People are brain washed into thinking they need to eat 3 meals a day, or that they need food for energy and must eat on a regular basis, AND they eat food that doesn't really satiate them so they feel hungry all the time. They are truly addicted to the sugars and starches in their diets. Lastly, many people think they will automatically get sick and if the stop eating for even a few hours.
Oh yeah, when people would ask me about my weight loss, etc. I used to tell them about IT and the problems with our foods...now I just keep my mouth shut because all it does is waste my time, pisses them off ("No one is going to ell me what to eat.", "I couldn't do that I'd die!!!!! or "Starve to death.") and very few people are interested in doing anything that necessitates changing their daily lives even if it will help them.

OMAD (one meal a day) I fast for 23.5 hours a day. I only have one meal and it's Carnivore. I started IF to loose weight and regain my health. I'm down 45 Lbs in 8 weeks. I started with the 16/8 plan then moved to the 20/4 plan which I only did for a few days before moving to a 23.5 hour fast. Even though it's not easy it is far easier than calorie restriction...
@jeffmack57 I have lost 74 lbs now, since January 9th, 2016. I only have about 40 or 50 pounds lose! I have been doing mostly O.M.A.D. and I currently am doing my own version of a fasting mimicking diet and lost 19 lbs since April 21st and am still losing!
@@dongrant810 I started doing OMAD in the beginning of April. I was 305#'s. It is now mid June and I'm at 236#'s. I am starting a 4 or 5 day fast. Mostly to see if I can do it.
I do a two meal a day, 16/8 diet with as few carbs as I can. Lost 53 pounds in four months. Better, I got OFF insulin, after having been on it for 14 years. Blood pressure dropped dramatically. I don't need to be sold any further. (note) I'm now doing one meal a day twice a week. Not eating any more than when I have two meals. The difference is astonishing. My blood work shows virtually every marker significantly improved. When my weight goal is achieved I'm gonna do a longer fast. Mainly for the autophagy which they say will help clean up the loose skin I've gotten from weight loss. But the 16/8 meal plan I plan to stick with till I die. Nothing but benefits from my point of view.
Been doing it for a week. NEVER HUNGRY!! Fast from 8 p.m. until 2 or 3 the next day. I used to eat breakfast because it's what we do, not because I was hungry. So stretching it longer wasn't too bad. Plus knowing you can then eat until you're full is great to look forward to. I did cut out most bread/pasta/crackers. Don't crave them now.
@@davemwangi05 Yes, in a different way. I now eat my first meal around 12 most days but whenever I want on weekends. But I still only eat two meals a day. Dr Longo's studies showed that there is a chance of creating gall stones if you delay the first meal every day. So 2 days I eat at breakfast time. And now and then I do a 24 hour fast, dinner to dinner time the next day. I feel great and am maintaining my weight. If I keep busy, especially outside, I don't even get hungry or think about food.
Thank you for your truth....on my deathbed there was non truth but God raised me up and led me back with the same truth you are sharing. God bless you for being such a great unselfish healer......There are crowns in heaven for the love you share !!!!
I first saw Prof. Valter Longo in the BBC program, "Eat, Fast, and Live Longer" and learned about intermittent fasting. Because my thyroid was removed in 1971 I am forced to go further to regenerate a thyroid, and have to date put in over 8000 hours of two week long dryfasting sessions, and am now off thyroid replacements. It took dedicated dryfasting for me to realize what bad condition my body was in beyond simply the thyroid issue. I am now in day 21 of this dryfast, maximizing autophagy to allow the body to remove whatever does not serve it and restore fluidity to the great lymphatic system. The Nobel Prize in 2016 was awarded for studies into autophagy.
Hola. My thiroid was removed 25 years ago for cáncer in the thyroid. I began IF 3 months ago looking for a cure for problems of pain and inflammation. Can you tell me about the dryfasting to regenerate the thyroid? Thanks.
@@marydavis7978 I always like to inquire if one is fasting with water or without water, and if with water how much daily water are they drinking. I've found with experimentation that the amount of water or no water does make some difference in rate or intensity of autophagy.

A couple years back I underwent a 22-day, water-only fast. Not an easy thing to do, particularly the first 5-7 days. It's nice to know that it gets easier as days pass, as toxins are removed from the body. I actually felt invulnerable from disease and infection after the 10-day mark and was feeling quite good overall. Most importantly, is what foods and quantities you consume when breaking the fast. Overall, it was a very healing experience.
All true, I agree, I started fasting about a year ago, my life changed, it will change your life for the better and its free, I don't take diabetic medications any more.
I did write-up a set of 'guidelines', following my 22-day fast. It's a Word document. Also, search YT for 'water only fasting' and you'll come across some very helpful videos.
Fasting is a spiritual practice in Buddhism that is approached with mindfulness and discipline. While not mandatory for lay people, fasting is considered a tool for cultivating self-control, detachment, and deeper meditation. The emphasis is on moderation rather than extreme deprivation. Here are ways fasting is promoted in different Buddhist traditions: Fasting in Buddhism aligns with the principle of the Middle Way, avoiding both indulgence and extreme asceticism. The practice is done to balance the body and mind, supporting spiritual development without harming physical health. Buddhist monks are not supposed to eat after mid day. That is a tradition started almost 2550 years ago.
Thank you so much for that video valter Longo. I think you missed your other calling I never laughed so hard very good presentation. I had to watch it for the third time in a row. And each time I laughed even louder. Don't forget you can always be a stand-up comedian part-time. Seriously great video thanks again
“Is not this the fast that I have chosen? … Then shall… thine health shall spring forth speedily…” - God on fasting in the ancient book of Isaiah chapter 58.
Very nice video. I just came off a 5 day water only fast and I feel amazing. I lost 10 pounds in 5 days, probably 2 pounds of water weight since I’m netting 8 pounds. I’m going to try FMD next.
Cannot agree more-Fasting is great for your health! I m also big fan of intermittent fasting-18hour without food every day! I believe that if fasting is done in respect with moon calendar and circadian rhythm, it works even better! Best to you all!
Reading his book now and find linking FMD with curing various diseases in his book and this presentation are unique and pioneering. With more further research and clinical trials, it will no doubt play an important part in helping human beings to extend life and age healthy in the years to come.
I am reading a good book from Ruediger Dahlke about fasting methods, I started this Month August and I feel very well, even my son is fasting with me. I must to thank Ruediger and Valter for the studies and valuable information.
Would be interesting to do a study with people from 2 groups -- one group of people that are accustomed to fasting and a separate group that haven't done much fasting before the experiment. Reasoning would be whether stress hormones play a factor in effectiveness of starting to fast until the conclusion of the experiment. People accustomed to fasting probably wouldn't as worried about their next meal and dealing with hunger pangs and so anxiety about something they've never tried before would be less and could result in significantly different results between the two groups. Some people fast as part of their religious beliefs and have been doing it since an early age so it isn't so new to them.
Stress dies effect a lot, especially with weight or at least for me it is. That's when I notice I put on weight and my eating is horrible when I am stressed out.
very interesting to know how fasting affect our physiology, by activating our stemcells and then regenerating new immune cells on refeeding to protect us against aging and disease, intriguing
I used to fast but I slacked off it. when I was fasting my body felt great. Starting was difficult but once I was going for a while I felt good. I think 40 days is the safe absolute limit. you can fast once a week or 10 days once a month.
twice a week is what prophet Muhammad saws did, monday and thursday, but I am intermittent fasting now every day: 20h fasting 4h eating window, and DRINKING a lot of water in these hot summer days.
This is one of the best videos I've seen of research evidence suggesting that internal mechanisms of the human body exist to reset all damaged cells. I wonder if the FMD can also lead to telemerase activation and telemere extension. That would be awesome.

@@timsahkelebek5901 Are you suggesting I made this up? Because I did not. I read it somewhere and Einstein said a lot of interesting things that had nothing to do with science. " The fourth war will be fought with stones." " Imagination is more impressive than intelligence." And I don't know where I read those either. Somewhere in the litany of things he said I saw that quote attributed to him. And if I did say it first. I would definitely take the credit for it. Why give it to anyone else.
That's a really interesting idea. It certainly fits with the statistics showing that an increase in the mother's morning sickness correlates with a decrease in the likelihood of miscarriage.
Nice talk but where's the link to the diet so we can try it? That would be helpful after telling us how beneficial it is and the results of your years of research. what is the point of telling us all about it without any actionable information?
In India, every common person (specially hindu's) does fasting as spiritual practice and know that it gives health benefits. Britisher's in early centuries made fun of hindu culture. Now when I see every new developments in health industry they are simply pointing out ancient Indian practices. may be it is time to revisit all the ancient indian practices and research on it.
well do the research and report on it! I usually don't pay any attention to people who point to the wisdom of people who lived hundreds or thousands of years ago. As if by simply living a long time ago they knew something we don't. They were people who lived a lifespan same as we do now, without the benefits of structured research, studies etc. So I am not going to go drink some tea made out of a bunch of Chinese herbs or whatever just because someone says they worked for some villagers who lived five hundred years ago. Let's do the research and decide which practices are beneficial and which are not. As in, this guy here actually did the research, identified biological reasons and showed in different organisms that it worked. To me, that is proof, and years of hard work to show it. Long live science!
The only problem I have with India is that the doctors there tend to cause a lot of Empty Nose Syndrome. Reducing the nasal turbinates even a little can cause this horrible illness, but for some reason the doctors there tend to take out more tissue than average. So they definitely are lacking in that area of medicine.
Could it have anything to do with the treatment of women, including the expectation of women throwing themselves on husband’s funeral pyre, which the Brits fought against? I’m not a Brit, and my people had 800 years of trouble with the Brits. But there is more to history than what is said here
Not knowing history is also problem,. Do you know Vedas (Sanskrit text's) have been moved slowly to Europe/England for research. Where as in india in 18th century , there have been negative propaganda done on Sanskrit by Britishers telling they are useless and obsolete........, only when you complete history then only please talk

It was a long time I wasn't feeling proud to be Italian but after listening to Mr Longo there is still hope! Such a great talk!
Dario! There are so many reasons to be proud of being Italian. Only those who do not know the Italian culture well could not admire it! In addition to the arts, civic advancements, architecture, civic organization, and the general love of beauty ( Le maladie de Stendal the illness from a surfeit of beauty in Italy) . And then... the widespread human connectedness of Italians! An example of which even in his one-time interview with the 122 yr-old gent in this video includes his singing a song for us with this interviewer who in such an Italian way sees and feels his being and helps us to do so too. Ciao Dario!

Love this intelligent Italian man, makes so much sense and he has a wonderful personality. Bravo!!
Excellent sharing. I will start IF tomorrow. Thanks so very much. Coming from an expert, this makes a lot of sense.
I am doing fasting from 8 years age, one month per year for of course religious reasons. But I never know its health benefits. In-fact I was started to think, fasting is bad for health. Wow, you have opened my eyes.
I am of your religion but when we break our fast, the carb-laden food counterattacks and kills all of the benefits of fasting. Our Prophet MOHAMMED (SWT) was extremely healthy and don't believe he ever gorged on fried food and plethora of dishes when he broke his fast. Just a food (pun intended) for thought. :)) salaam Brother.
I wonder if that's why when some people get sick an we stop eating because we are not hungry....if that's the bodies way of healing itself by us not wanting food?? I was so sick week ago with a severe headache couldn't even function. Then got really sick for 3 days an vomiting bile an didn't eat for 3 days. The body is amazing.....GOD made us perfectly!!
Nice insight.
I am sure it was God😰 every good thing is god every bad thing is us. That’s the original mistake he made 😫😅
A very remarkable observation!
I had the same experiences. I get sick (GI problems eating too much) then I stop eating for 2-3 days. I lose 10 pounds, feel great then fall back into my old habits (eating too much). I now am getting eating under control thanks to VA class. Smaller portions, mindful eating, etc. Feeling great. Living pain free. Pain is a strong message from your body that YOU are doing something wrong. Do not ignore pain, no matter how small. Take control of your healthcare

Agree with you. I have been intermittent fasting for just over two years and noticed many heath improvements.
@@oneperspective you should write about your experiences. I would totally read it.
Like for example.. should you have salt water?
COM DRIVE I was influenced by watching the BBC Horizon episode entitle ‘eat fast and live longer’ with Michael Mosely. Found it interesting as it was actually backed up by sound medical research. I have adopted much of his advice given in his two books published on the subject. ‘ the 5:2 and the fast 800.
I haven’t got the strength to do without food for extended periods, so the intermittent fasting works well for me.
I have lost some weight although wasn’t particularly overweight in the first place.
I find the improvement come in the way of more energy, concentration and generally feeling more upbeat. I’m sure others could add many more positives to the list.
Lately I’ve been adding in some OMAD or one meal a day. This also has similar results.
@@oneperspective I hear an improvement from IF is that when you lose weight it's harder to put it back on compared to traditional calorie counting, which wouldn't affect the hormones as much. That's awesome. I'm on IF for 8 days now and I feel a lot more upbeat
COM DRIVE yes I’m sure that’s true. As far as I can tell after doing IF for some time the body educates itself to appreciate healthier foods too. Vegetables and certain fruit preferable to the western calorie heavy options.
"But to fast is best for you, if you only knew"

" [Fasting for] a limited number of days. So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - then an equal number of days [are to be made up].

Dr. Longo's talk on the Rich Roll podcast is very intriguing as well if you like this. He's a proponent of eating mostly vegan, and pescitarian 2-3 times a week. Not Keto.
Read his book the Longevity Diet. Might sway the keto folks over. I eat like he suggests, and usually lots of good quality carbs daily. Still losing weight even when I don't workout. His book is worth a look if you want to avoid disease and live past 100.
I've done 16:8 and 20:4 IF fasting on a daily basis for almost two years. Got my BMI down to 20 the first month. I feel great and it's so easy to do. But, when I mention it to most other people, they totally freak out and say they could never do it. They have every excuse in the book.
People are brain washed into thinking they need to eat 3 meals a day, or that they need food for energy and must eat on a regular basis, AND they eat food that doesn't really satiate them so they feel hungry all the time. They are truly addicted to the sugars and starches in their diets. Lastly, many people think they will automatically get sick and if the stop eating for even a few hours.
Oh yeah, when people would ask me about my weight loss, etc. I used to tell them about IT and the problems with our foods...now I just keep my mouth shut because all it does is waste my time, pisses them off ("No one is going to ell me what to eat.", "I couldn't do that I'd die!!!!! or "Starve to death.") and very few people are interested in doing anything that necessitates changing their daily lives even if it will help them.
I usually do 23:1 which frees up lots of time from preparation, eating, and shopping.
wendeln92 Those naysayers are either addicted to sugar/carbs or use food to relieve boredom, as entertainment, or to fill a hole in their life.

I started with the 16/8 plan then moved to the 20/4 plan which I only did for a few days before moving to a 23.5 hour fast.
Even though it's not easy it is far easier than calorie restriction...

@@dongrant810 I started doing OMAD in the beginning of April. I was 305#'s. It is now mid June and I'm at 236#'s. I am starting a 4 or 5 day fast. Mostly to see if I can do it.
I do a two meal a day, 16/8 diet with as few carbs as I can. Lost 53 pounds in four months. Better, I got OFF insulin, after having been on it for 14 years. Blood pressure dropped dramatically. I don't need to be sold any further. (note) I'm now doing one meal a day twice a week. Not eating any more than when I have two meals. The difference is astonishing. My blood work shows virtually every marker significantly improved. When my weight goal is achieved I'm gonna do a longer fast. Mainly for the autophagy which they say will help clean up the loose skin I've gotten from weight loss. But the 16/8 meal plan I plan to stick with till I die. Nothing but benefits from my point of view.

Been doing it for a week. NEVER HUNGRY!! Fast from 8 p.m. until 2 or 3 the next day. I used to eat breakfast because it's what we do, not because I was hungry. So stretching it longer wasn't too bad. Plus knowing you can then eat until you're full is great to look forward to. I did cut out most bread/pasta/crackers. Don't crave them now.
@@patriot20000 still doing this?
@@davemwangi05 Yes, in a different way. I now eat my first meal around 12 most days but whenever I want on weekends. But I still only eat two meals a day.

And now and then I do a 24 hour fast, dinner to dinner time the next day. I feel great and am maintaining my weight. If I keep busy, especially outside, I don't even get hungry or think about food.

I first saw Prof. Valter Longo in the BBC program, "Eat, Fast, and Live Longer" and learned about intermittent fasting. Because my thyroid was removed in 1971 I am forced to go further to regenerate a thyroid, and have to date put in over 8000 hours of two week long dryfasting sessions, and am now off thyroid replacements. It took dedicated dryfasting for me to realize what bad condition my body was in beyond simply the thyroid issue.
I am now in day 21 of this dryfast, maximizing autophagy to allow the body to remove whatever does not serve it and restore fluidity to the great lymphatic system. The Nobel Prize in 2016 was awarded for studies into autophagy.
Hola. My thiroid was removed 25 years ago for cáncer in the thyroid. I began IF 3 months ago looking for a cure for problems of pain and inflammation. Can you tell me about the dryfasting to regenerate the thyroid? Thanks.
I'm in day four of a twenty one day fast! No hunger pains! Watching fasting videos are motivation!😃
@@marydavis7978 I always like to inquire if one is fasting with water or without water, and if with water how much daily water are they drinking. I've found with experimentation that the amount of water or no water does make some difference in rate or intensity of autophagy.

His work is the final death knell to conventional medicine as we've known it. He's basically proved that we can completely revamp all the systems that accelerate aging and age-related diseases. Essentially regardless of what your disease from here on out, the first SCIENTIFIC thing to do is to fast. From a common cold all the way to cancer. Man, its a great time to be alive!
A couple years back I underwent a 22-day, water-only fast. Not an easy thing to do, particularly the first 5-7 days. It's nice to know that it gets easier as days pass, as toxins are removed from the body. I actually felt invulnerable from disease and infection after the 10-day mark and was feeling quite good overall. Most importantly, is what foods and quantities you consume when breaking the fast. Overall, it was a very healing experience.
Brad Stephan When your prolonged fasting use salt water to keep your electrolytes up
All true, I agree, I started fasting about a year ago, my life changed, it will change your life for the better and its free, I don't take diabetic medications any more.

Rewatched this again...once of the more extensive, fascinating (and entertaining !) videos on the subject !
Love this guy!! He’s the best
Fasting is a spiritual practice in Buddhism that is approached with mindfulness and discipline. While not mandatory for lay people, fasting is considered a tool for cultivating self-control, detachment, and deeper meditation. The emphasis is on moderation rather than extreme deprivation. Here are ways fasting is promoted in different Buddhist traditions:
Fasting in Buddhism aligns with the principle of the Middle Way, avoiding both indulgence and extreme asceticism. The practice is done to balance the body and mind, supporting spiritual development without harming physical health.
Buddhist monks are not supposed to eat after mid day. That is a tradition started almost 2550 years ago.
This guy presents with great style and fun too!
Such a well researched talk. It should have much much more views
Thank you so much for that video valter Longo. I think you missed your other calling I never laughed so hard very good presentation. I had to watch it for the third time in a row. And each time I laughed even louder. Don't forget you can always be a stand-up comedian part-time. Seriously great video thanks again
this is probably the most interesting aspect of this....practice....
When he gave the example with the 40 year old couple....
Just wow :"(
I did a 36 hour fast. It was an interesting experience. Your digestive system just stops and it feels like it's probably benefitting from the rest.

… Then shall… thine health shall spring forth speedily…”

Very nice video. I just came off a 5 day water only fast and I feel amazing. I lost 10 pounds in 5 days, probably 2 pounds of water weight since I’m netting 8 pounds. I’m going to try FMD next.
What are your tips? What do you do with a hunger? Do you distract yourself? I think the first one to two days is already very hard for me.
Cannot agree more-Fasting is great for your health!
I m also big fan of intermittent fasting-18hour without food every day!
I believe that if fasting is done in respect with moon calendar and circadian rhythm, it works even better!
Best to you all!
Reading his book now and find linking FMD with curing various diseases in his book and this presentation are unique and pioneering. With more further research and clinical trials, it will no doubt play an important part in helping human beings to extend life and age healthy in the years to come.
Fantastic TED Talk. God bless
Great presentation... beautiful ending too! Thank you!!
I am reading a good book from Ruediger Dahlke about fasting methods, I started this Month August and I feel very well, even my son is fasting with me. I must to thank Ruediger and Valter for the studies and valuable information.
Would be interesting to do a study with people from 2 groups -- one group of people that are accustomed to fasting and a separate group that haven't done much fasting before the experiment. Reasoning would be whether stress hormones play a factor in effectiveness of starting to fast until the conclusion of the experiment. People accustomed to fasting probably wouldn't as worried about their next meal and dealing with hunger pangs and so anxiety about something they've never tried before would be less and could result in significantly different results between the two groups. Some people fast as part of their religious beliefs and have been doing it since an early age so it isn't so new to them.
Stress dies effect a lot, especially with weight or at least for me it is. That's when I notice I put on weight and my eating is horrible when I am stressed out.
Interesting n informative talk. Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.
I loved when Valter played guitar and the old man sang ;)
Devotion to a simple yet radical spirituality like Nichiren Buddhism can give all the benefits of fasting, without starving oneself unnecessarily.
very interesting to know how fasting affect our physiology, by activating our stemcells and then regenerating new immune cells on refeeding to protect us against aging and disease, intriguing
Watching this was enlightening.
I used to fast but I slacked off it. when I was fasting my body felt great. Starting was difficult but once I was going for a while I felt good. I think 40 days is the safe absolute limit. you can fast once a week or 10 days once a month.
twice a week is what prophet Muhammad saws did, monday and thursday, but I am intermittent fasting now every day: 20h fasting 4h eating window, and DRINKING a lot of water in these hot summer days.

Nice talk but where's the link to the diet so we can try it? That would be helpful after telling us how beneficial it is and the results of your years of research. what is the point of telling us all about it without any actionable information?
This video is very educational and bring about great point to further build upon and continue discussion -Denesha (Gerontology)
In India, every common person (specially hindu's) does fasting as spiritual practice and know that it gives health benefits. Britisher's in early centuries made fun of hindu culture. Now when I see every new developments in health industry they are simply pointing out ancient Indian practices. may be it is time to revisit all the ancient indian practices and research on it.
well do the research and report on it! I usually don't pay any attention to people who point to the wisdom of people who lived hundreds or thousands of years ago. As if by simply living a long time ago they knew something we don't. They were people who lived a lifespan same as we do now, without the benefits of structured research, studies etc. So I am not going to go drink some tea made out of a bunch of Chinese herbs or whatever just because someone says they worked for some villagers who lived five hundred years ago. Let's do the research and decide which practices are beneficial and which are not. As in, this guy here actually did the research, identified biological reasons and showed in different organisms that it worked. To me, that is proof, and years of hard work to show it. Long live science!
Sadly any ideology not created on british shore's are often frowned upon.
The only problem I have with India is that the doctors there tend to cause a lot of Empty Nose Syndrome. Reducing the nasal turbinates even a little can cause this horrible illness, but for some reason the doctors there tend to take out more tissue than average. So they definitely are lacking in that area of medicine.
Could it have anything to do with the treatment of women, including the expectation of women throwing themselves on husband’s funeral pyre, which the Brits fought against? I’m not a Brit, and my people had 800 years of trouble with the Brits. But there is more to history than what is said here
Not knowing history is also problem,. Do you know Vedas (Sanskrit text's) have been moved slowly to Europe/England for research. Where as in india in 18th century , there have been negative propaganda done on Sanskrit by Britishers telling they are useless and obsolete........,
only when you complete history then only please talk
