RE: I am starving myself... on purpose! That's right, no food at all! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? You're wondering... Let me tell ya.
Fasting up regulates longevity genes and increases both the mean and maximum lifespan of laboratory animals. Ive done fasting on and off for the last ten years. Most people freak out if they find out that I'm fasting. Recently Ive become interested other things found in food and herbs that up-regulate longevity genes. Some berry and seed extracts have increased lifespan 28% more than fasting when eaten between fasts. Ive started writing about what I'm finding so if you are interested here are the links.

Fantastic! Count me in, you have me hooked!
Wow @tombot this sounds incredible! Thank you for sharing. I know the feeling of people thinking that giving the body the break it needs to clear out is crazy ;)
I'll definitely be looking into this! I am all for increasing my lifespan!

Thanks @heart-to-heart. Also during a fast I get a calming feeling and I can get a lot of things done. Its surprising how much extra time you have when you don't have to worry about eating.
Or cooking! You're so right! I feel like my days are extra long, sometimes I can't believe that it's only the time it is! I spend a lot of time preparing meals (which I love) but when that time is removed, it gives me tons more to do whatever else my new clarity wants ;)
I haven't checked out your articles yet, I was having a bit of a rough day yesterday (day 3) but I am really excited to read them!
XO,

My articles aren't a page turner. Ive been digging through a lot of research papers to provide references. The conclusion part sums things up so thats a good spot to get a quick summary of an article. I'm doing this because I want to help people live a longer heather life.
Well, I am also wanting that so it's perfect! I am a strong advocate for healthy living and changing habits in order to live not only longer but with more ability, more strength, will, endurance, passion :)
