David Sinclair, a Harvard genetics professor who only sleeps 6 hours a night and doesn’t exercise every day swears 3 habits helped reverse his biological age by a decade. Excellent article that is well worth the read...I believe that I would add daily exercise (your choice) because muscle is the organ of longevity...and I feel the older he gets he would want to add this to his regimen...otherwise I concur from experience his foundational practices.

The suggestion was intermittent fasting... the skipping breakfast was how he chose to structure his IF. The funny thing is that he looks very healthy and very similar to the people of the 50's. I was born in '51 and I agree there was a better level of health and physical fitness but that was due to MANY different causes. I respect your opinion but disagree that these are not good solid habits. There are MANY more for sure. The oil/fat issue is certainly one.
I used to intermittent fast. But now I believe we should trust our instincts. This guy has a wonderful podcast.

Yes for the most part your body will tell you what you're needing if you learn to listen to it. This is also where a food log comes in very handy to figure out "what am I deficient in when I feel this way?"
Thanks for the suggestion...he looks like someone I would like to listen to...I am always open to increasing my knowledge...
It certainly is hard to figure out. I'm sure I'm doing a ton of things wrong. But I started eating more and embracing the carbs and it makes sense from rationale perspective. We are probably wired correctly and like this stuff for a reason.
I don't do keto...but I eat butter, mostly coconut oil, bacon...pretty much anything I want...I just know I feel better at 72 than I did at even 60 and to me this is of such great value. I LOVE carbs but I am careful not to overconsume...heck I eat pizza once a week at my favorite NY style pizza place...life is very good...
