IMHO, it is all about lowering oxidative stress. Eating creates oxidative stress in the body because to eat means to create ATP and that means electrons are increased in the mitochondria. More electrons = more oxidative stress in the form of superoxides.
I will say that Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition (or CRON) is the healthiest diet but should be geared towards ones heritage or genetics (which is why I think all of the studies on humans have such variable and confounding outcomes.).

- nradov 2y agoThat doesn't seem plausible. Hard exercise increases oxidative stress and yet we have pretty good evidence that frequent hard exercise is correlated with longer lifespan. Calorie restriction like the nonsense you're promoting would leave me too weak to do my favorite activities.
- cmclaughlin 2y agoYou’d be surprised… weight lifting while intermittent fasting is quite effective
- nradov 2y agoEffective for what?
- netr0ute 2y agoLosing muscle
- pessimizer 2y agoBodybuilders were the first people to start intermittent fasting after the mouse study. The title of the front page of https://leangains.com/ https://leangains.com/ is "Leangains - Birthplace of Intermittent Fasting" April 14, 2010: https://leangains.com/the-leangains-guide/ https://leangains.com/the-leangains-guide/
- HKH2 2y ago> we have pretty good evidence that frequent hard exercise is correlated with longer lifespan. Like bodybuilding?
- nradov 2y agoMore like resistance training than bodybuilding (bodybuilding is more about aesthetics than strength, although there is a significant linkage). Falls are a leading cause of death and disability in the elderly. Old people who fall and break a hip seldom fully recover, lose mobility, and are often dead within a couple years. Being strong enough to stabilize your joints and catch yourself before hitting the ground is extremely important (although this is difficult to study through randomized controlled trials). https://peterattiamd.com/avoiding-injury-part-i-eccentric-strength/ https://peterattiamd.com/avoiding-injury-part-i-eccentric-st... By the way, this is one reason why mouse studies on longevity don't translate well to humans. Lab animals live in safe, flat cages where there's little risk of musculoskeletal injuries. The real world where humans live is far more hazardous.
