A person’s longevity is attributed to a number of factors, the biggest of which is in the diet. A new report reveals a kind of diet that was recently proven to increase one’s life expectancy.
Everyone wants to live a long and healthy life, and as there is no one single way to determine how a person is able to do that. The amount of exercise, as well as lifestyle choices such as alcohol consumption or even whether or not a person smokes, and mental health all play a part in what makes a person live long. However, it appears that the biggest factor contributing to a person’s longevity lies in the food they eat. Express reports that a kind of diet can help increase a person’s life expectancy, and it has to do with eating times.
Intermittent fasting between meals has been shown to increase a person’s life expectancy. This type of fasting involves time restrictions, limiting to six to eight hours a day for meals including a 5:2 ratio, in which the person eats a moderate-sized meal twice a week. This type of dieting has been shown to support cellular health, which may trigger a process in the body called metabolic switching, where fat and sugar is converted into energy. This would help in regulating blood sugar levels, resistance to stress, and has anti-inflammatory benefits as well.
A few studies regarding this type of diet showed that people and animals who did this kind of fasting had lowered blood pressure, blood lipid levels, and resting heart rates. Intermittent fasting can also prevent developing conditions like diabetes and obesity, and improve brain health as well.
It was previously reported that drinking apple cider vinegar can also help increase life expectancy. This is because apple cider vinegar contains “mother,” which is made up of enzymes, proteins, and good bacteria which is good for the digestive system. It is also worth noting that apple cider vinegar is usually made the same way certain types of alcoholic beverages are made, including the addition of “mother” which ferments the mixture and turn it into acetic acid.
Some studies have also shown the benefits of drinking apple cider vinegar including lowering bad cholesterol levels, and reduce the risk of heart disease.
