Inducing ketogenesis whose byproduct is the retention of water and generation of ATP has historically acted as an epiphenomenal method of apoptosis. Survival rates vary but fasting has proven to be an effective method.

A ketogenic diet or a strict fasting regimen are two health strategies that are too frowned upon, still, and unfortunately so. Food (or whatever passes for "food" in modern times) has become such a crutch, and people have such potent emotional ties to it, that the sole idea of restricting one's diet will come across as negative from the get go. Nonetheless, there have been advancements in that regard, culturally, I believe.

  Apparently I'm an incredibly healthy individual - just had a physical that stated that. I do have a good genetic base but in general I don't live a particularly healthy lifestyle, my activity is pretty much the same as everyone else - except my diet. I'm a vegetarian and a celiac (no gluten) so I don't eat a lot of processed food. Rice, oatmeal, corn tortillas, black beans, cheese, hemp hearts, flax seeds, chia seeds, Sriracha, coffee w/honey and hazelnut creamer - all that is easily 90%+ of my diet. I also drink a protein drink called OWYN daily. About once a week I'll have a little to eat in the morning and then I just won't really get hungry again til really late and I'll often just not eat then and go to bed. Intermittent fasting is great. A few times a year I'll go a few days without really eating - there are so many benefits to the process. The primary being autophagy - that I sus is the reason I look so much younger than people my age. The science of sleep radically disagrees with the next thing I'm about to say. The process with food and the body is very similar to the process of sleep and the brain. Occasionally pulling an all nighter playing video games (can't be a stressful all nighter) is actually good for you - it resets some stuff in your head. This can be particularly effective for dealing with certain states of depression or melancholia.
