Intermittent Fasting: The Cure All of Cure Alls?

I started intermittent fasting about 2 years ago. Prior to that I would do a 3 day fast two, maybe three times a year. I've found that ANY type of fasting I've done has been hugely beneficial. More so than anything else I've tried. But intermittent Fasting has Trumped them all.

Basically it equates to just eating less. But for people like me who lack will power to eat less regularly, it helps success to designate a specific time period to fast, and commit to it. For me this period is from a 5:00 o'clock dinner to a noon lunch the next day. This worked for me because most of the fast is while I'm asleep. The key here is to give your system at least a 12 hour break from digesting food.

My personal benefits have been:
1. Weight Loss
2. Cognitive Enhancement
3. Better Health
4. Better Sleep (and dreams)
5. More Energy
6. Faster Heal Times (from workouts)
7. Better Overall Mood
8. Better Vision
9. Better Digestion

And now, according to the Neuroscientist in the following short Tedx Video, I'm preventing a whole slew of age related diseases and expanding my lifespan.

My recommendation to everyone who complains of some ailment whether it be headaches to cancer, is to stop eating. Eat less. But the key is the time frame. Give your body a rest. At least 8 hours. If not 12.

Check it.
