Each and every Eastern religion emphasised fasting - Hindu and Muslims and Buddhists know the benefits of it. Basically it means less burden, less load to the system (we are a system) and, as a by-product, the exercise of self-control, which is the key to personal success (delayed gratification and related concepts). Thinking about tribal eating habits, one could realize that there is no single "right" diet, but a pepper set of habits of moderate austerity in consumption and sticking to simple, unprocessed, traditional (evolved according with local food sources) dishes. To put it simply - conditioned by media overconsumption of processed junk food is the cause of suffering and a major contribution to ageing.
