Is the age of longevity here? Yes, it is.

Since the early 20th century, human life expectancy has increased by about 40 years. In China, the average life expectancy has risen from 43 years in 1960 to 77 years in 2020 in just 60 years. And it doesn't stop there. In the past decade alone, China's average life expectancy has increased by another 3.4 years. Life at 100 years of age has come to you and me.

Therefore, the matter of anti-aging is neither an emergency management measure nor a advice limited to seniors, but your daily behavior. Only anytime, anywhere, every day to do a good job of anti-aging work, we can be age healthily and happily, rather than wait until the advent of aging, and then seek quick fixes.

The anti-aging action I'm going to teach you today is light fasting, which is the most recommended program in current science.

To explain why light fasting is reliable, we have to first clarify the principles of aging. Here, let's first correct a wrong viewpoint of most people, that is, to fight aging, is unnatural? Not really. Agelessness is not immortality. Death, indeed, is the natural order, and to be immortal would mean a kind of stagnation in the evolution of an organism. But painful aging before death is not necessary. Throughout history and modern times, there have been accounts of old people with silver hair, quick movements, and superb memories.

Scientists have discovered that this longevity switch is off when the environment is rich and resources are plentiful.

When we have food and drink, without any external pressure for survival, all cells will actively proliferate. On the contrary, when the environment is bad, energy is insufficient, and we are hungry, we switch on these anti-aging switches, and those diseases that are accelerated because of aging, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders, press pause.

If science has learned anything about longevity, the evidence converges on the phrase ‘eat less, live longer’.
