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.

Both the Greeks and Romans, felt that eating one meal per day, was optimum for health. They would fast all day, which gave them more energy, because eating a large meal, sends large amounts of blood down into the intestines for digestion, which is why people get drowsy after lunch. They would eat a decent meal sometime in the evening, which gave their bodies all night to use as much energy as needed to process the food. People who ate more than one meal per day, were referred to as "Gluttons".
Our good friend Penisse eats only one meal a day and I have to say I had never heard of that...thank you for this information...I laugh because our entire ountry seems to do nothing but eat...morning, noon and night...gluttony for sure...
Eating more frequent smaller high-protein meals per day gets more growth, protein synthesis only runs optimally for a few hours at a time. One of many reason lifters don't do one meal a day. If you want to just get skinny by all means OMAD is just fine for that.
