Recap: Is it time for you to try fasting? | Dr Valter Longo & Tim Spector
Description
Most of us have heard about the health benefits of fasting; from lowering disease risk to even slowing down ageing. The catch? Going without food is tough. Really tough.
However, according to Dr. Valter Longo, it doesn’t have to be so hard. His pioneering research, including the development of the ‘fast-mimicking diet’, is making fasting more practical and accessible for everyone.
Today, Valter joins Tim Spector and I to explain how a pause from food transforms the way our cells behave, and how you can make fasting part of your life.
