The Secret to Longevity and Willpower: Intermittent Fasting
It’s been three years since we started doing intermittent fasting, and while it’s been a difficult journey trying to get our minds and bodies used to eating during certain hours of the day, we feel great!
We have more energy. We have more time. We’re more resilient to hunger. But the most important reason why we both do intermittent fasting is because we want to stay young longer and to train our minds to adapt quickly to difficult conditions.
Studies show that when you put your body under stress (like intermittent fasting, high-intensity exercises or cold showers), you force your body to remove weak and damaged mitochondria - the powerhouses of the cell - and create new stronger ones. And when your mitochondria are in top shape, you live and look longer.
Isn’t that what we all want?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What kind of intermittent fasting do you guys do?
16:8 intermittent fasting. We fast for 16 hours and eat for 8 hours.
When do you eat?
12-8pm
Do you workout while fasting?
Yes! It’s actually best to workout during your fast because it forces your body to access fat stores for energy and autophagy - the body’s way of cleaning out damaged cells and proteins in order to regenerate newer, healthier ones.
What do you eat during intermittent fasting?
Anything, really. This isn’t a diet to us; it’s a lifestyle where we could eat whatever we like as long as it’s within our 8-hour feeding window.
