There are a great many ways you can take charge of and reprogram your DNA for longevity. Yes, you can experience life extension and live a longer, happier life by initiating a bit of calorie restriction.
If you can dial back your daily calorie intake you can enjoy a longer life. You can increase the remainder of your lifespan by 30% by eating one meal every three days. Let’s take a look at calorie restriction for life expansion.
Reprogram Your DNA via Calorie Restriction
You might be surprised to discover that calorie restriction is also a key to longevity, but it is true, and it is not that much different from the stress response. By restricting your calorie intake daily, you induce a bit of stress on your biological system and it responds by calling on the other body’s resources to survive.
Over time, as your DNA is reprogrammed to genetically respond to your calorie restriction, your body grows ever stronger… and is equipped to live even longer.
This reaction strengthens your immune system and reduces the otherwise normal deterioration of your biological system by harnessing the quantity of your diet each day.
You may have had some experience with counting calories in some fashion of diet control in the past. If you already have experience with that skillset, use it to you your advantage now.
Intermittent Fasting
I know, the idea of intermittent casting sounds counter-intuitive, especially since as far back as you remember you have been programmed to believe that three meals per day were necessary for basic survival.
This is one of those things that you will have to research for yourself and decide if you want to take action or let this opportunity for reprogramming your DNA for a longer life pass you by.
Intermittent fasting can be as simple as skipping one meal every day.
Skip 1 Meal a Day
The best results appear to come from skipping the evening meal. This places more time between dinner (supper) and breakfast in the morning, it also increases the body’s nighttime rejuvenation process by reducing the drain of digestion during sleep.
This may be the easiest way to reduce caloric intake and reprogram your DNA by skipping a meal, and there are so many other youth-revigorating benefits from skipping the evening meal, this could be the best key to unlocking the fountain of youth.
Eat Once Every 3 Days
Many youth seekers and life extenders are raising the bar or intermittent fasting so high, so as to eat only one meal every three days. At first, this may seem like it is incredibly unsound, but if you think about it, our ancestors, when they lived to be hundreds of years old, food was not readily available throughout the year, and some sources of protein were few and far between.
So, to survive, they would only eat once every three days, and they lived incredibly long lives; hundreds of years. Doe this today and you could reprogram your DNA and increase the remainder of your life by 30% in years.
Of course, the food that we eat today is devoid of the classic vitamins, minerals, and proteins, so if you are considering any form of intermittent fasting, it is imperative that you use supplements to assure that you are getting the proper nutrients.
As in all things, managing your diet is on you. It is up to you to decide what kind of caloric restriction(s) you will impose upon yourself. For me, I am quite content by cutting what I had previously considered my normal intake of food in half.
