I think it is more like avoiding large amount of carbs to avoid developing type 2 diabetes. IF, low carb diets and more all contribute to helping avoid damage. I've even heard of Alzheimer's being called 'type 3 diabetes'. Also looking at the victim, he didn't look to be metabolically healthy, along with his wife. Households tend to eat similar. Also not eating for 4 hours before you sleep and after you wake up is a very low risk, cheap & safe thing to try out compared to many other things. Same with avoid cheap carby things and eating more meat, eggs, vegetables and more non-processed carby foods.

> Also not eating for 4 hours before you sleep and after you wake up Wait, does that count as IF? I mean yeah, I guess it is called break-fast, but does sleep time count as fasting time? Somehow in my mind it felt like it would "pause" the clock.

  Yup sleep time counts! And you can drink water and coffee and other zero calories drinks. Some say you should avoid zero-calorie sweeteners. So 4 hours no eating before sleep, 8hrs sleep & 4hrs after sleep is a 16 hour / 8 hour IF fast. Basically don't snack after dinner and skip breakfast. You can do longer fasts for different reasons, but that is the basic one.

The plant-based diet is absolutely full of carbs and apparently is good for diabetes, too. Of course, I’m not a doctor, I just watch YouTube videos xD

  Yes they have carbs, but usually not to the amount and density that most pure, cheap carby foods like rice, potatoes, yams, bread, etc tend to have. Vegetables also have higher satiation. It's actually fairly hard to get enough protein with a vegan diet unless you're eating beans, soy and vegetable protein extract and it's easy to fall into eating a lot of carbs and vegetable oil with some vegetables for flavor.
