Fasting has long been known to provide a host of health benefits when done properly and under certain conditions. These benefits may include a renewal of the immune system, a longer lifespan and a reduced risk of heart disease. However, new research is emerging which is revealing that fasting mimicking is another way to receive the same advantages without actually depriving the body completely of food.
Reprogramming the body into a slower aging mode is the key to this type of diet and seems to have good results. A few at Amen Clinics have tried this tactic. Even with the consumption of 3 meals per day the calorie intake can still remain lower than before and professors of Metabolic Medicine are confirming that life longevity and health are increased with this practice. It is certainly a good alternative to try for those who have not been able to maintain a strict fast for various reasons.
