What's depressing about all of this is that it's not really that interesting.
We know that exercise and activity improve all metabolic measures, increase happiness, longevity and outputs.
But very few people pursue that strategy. You can barely get post-injury patients to do their rehab exercises.
Similarly, we seem to have very good evidence of the benefits of fasting/restriction/etc. in addition to the very good historical evidence of these behaviors being so well preserved by culture and religion, across the world.
But people aren't going to do it. It's not going to change anything for (almost everyone).
- e40 9y agoAgreed. I've been doing IF (intermittent fasting) for the last 3 months. It's changed completely how I feel, in addition to losing some weight that was bothering me. It's like a weight has been taken off my metabolic system, that was working way too hard to process the amount of food I was throwing at it. And, the monkey on my back which was my sugar addiction is mostly gone--I still occasionally have sweets, but far less often than I used to.
