If one were to commit to an 18:6 intermittent fasting regime early in life, one would no doubt live a long life at a healthy weight and avoid heart disease, diabetes, and other major illnesses. The 18-hour fasting period would provide daily ketosis of 6 hours to consistently reduce body fat, so weight gain would no longer be an issue, and so all the major diseases associated with excessive weight gain would just go away.
An 18:6 intermittent fasting regime combined with avoidance of processed foods — those two elements would almost guarantee a long and healthy life.
I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
