Forget about the different 'anti-aging' theories. But I have some idea about the sort of lifestyle which keeps me *feeling* young at 60yrs.

Regardless of body weight:

EATING
1 Cut out seed oils
2 Cut out refined carbs and sugars
3 Reduce cereals/grains - pasta, bread,etc
4 Eat meat, seafood, eggs, some non-starchy fruit and veg
5 Don't drink calories (apart from animal blood) - just coffee, tea, water, red wine
6 Take megadose Vit C, (maybe Vit A & D3) as soon as an infection strikes
7 Cycle creatine (optional)
8 Calorie restriction – slight
9 No more than two meals a day
10 Time restricted feeding (18/6)
11 Intermittent Fasting - 24hrs once every 2/3 weeks
12 Intermittent ‘overeating’ - one or twice a week

[Jensen’s Inequality & Convexity] - if there’s a nonlinear relationship between an input (calories) & an output (effect), if we look at the output for two different inputs, the average of the outputs is not equal to what we would find for the output from the average of the inputs
'Calories & Nonlinearity' (section from my Fasting Paper)

Is there's a 'sweetspot' for neurogenesis from Fasting?

This study was every other day fasting. Is there a better (whilst still adherable) way. Would there be benefits from 18/6 routine? IS there any additional effect from reduced total calories -if so, how much?

Many questions

Fragility & Aging.

Aging decreases the ability to deal with variation - also the ability to generate variation; the two are intrinsically related. They are two sides of the same coin.

The fragility of the coffee cup is fixed whereas a 20yr old can cope with a jump...
...from 20ft, but at 70yrs cannot cope with a jump from 10ft. Fragility in increasing.
The aging body is like a badly run business, it can't adapt to environmental challenges, randomness, and variation.
The body no longer has the system to deal with it; more precisely the system is working within a reduced range, it has degraded.

This is why as one ages, to slow down the downward spiral, it is *essential* to keep working the 'tails', the extremes...
