Growth (in the body) & longevity are at fundamental odds with eachother.
We’ve been constantly told that fasting isn’t good - “eats away at muscle” or “makes you store fat/burn less calories”
Bodybuilders will continuously eat to put on muscle.

If not to burn excess fat, which none of us get to do if we are constantly eating,
what was the purpose for allowing humans to store fat as energy?
Our cells consistently cycle between growth and repair, depending on how often we are feeding it.

The only thing that has been proven to extend an animals life in multiple longevity studies is calorie restriction.
This is because you’re taking away from growth and shifting it over to cell maintenance / repair mode.

When you fast, you’re reducing growth signals.
*And of course the cells that stop growing (the ones you care about) include cancer cells.

The key is:
You’re trying to balance the growth
(more important when you’re young)
And longevity
(state of not eating; eating less, and not growing / you want to break down stuff, you don’t want to grow more stuff)

In a way, I view this as a metaphor for life:
In order to positively grow as a person; you need break down (struggle) and then rebuild (overcome, move forward)
Cycle between breaking down and rebuilding: it’s a fantastic way to rejuvenate the body!

If this is interesting to you but sounds daunting...
I suggest trying intermittent fasting & not eating large amounts 3-4 hrs before bed.
For me; I try to cycle between growth and cell repair.
