Eating Little, The Best Recipe To Live Longer And Better

Many pills and methods are sold to rejuvenate, but so far nothing has been shown to extend life more than eating just enough and fasting if necessary.

According to an Ayurvedic saying, in life you have a few breaths, a few pulses and a few servings of food, and when they are finished you go. Whether it is better to consume them quickly or slowly depends on your tastes.

The oldest populations in the Caucasus, the Karakorum and the Andes consume almost a third less calories than a Western citizen. They have in common a semi-vegetarian diet, low in calories and fat. Another factor that contributes greatly to your health and fitness is, without a doubt, regular exercise.

A rewarding workout

Restricting caloric intake protects neurons from old age. In addition, the ability to survive periods of scarcity increases if you are trained to eat little.

Animals that survive lean periods live longer, and so do people

An important detail: those who go through periods of unwanted hunger, due to wars or shortages, and take it as something harmful and with great anger have fewer defenses, while those who voluntarily fast, or control their diets, maintain a good mood and live it as something physiological have the strongest defenses.

Today we are faced with the great global paradox that many people die of hunger and others live less because of eating too much.

On the other hand, the latest in current science in this consumer society is the research work on “camouflaged caloric restriction”, which seeks a molecule that mimics the physiological effects of hypocaloric intake even if you continue to eat too much.

Faced with this scenario, the only thing that occurs to me to use a little common sense and give an unusual diet recipe: the healthy thing is to eat the right thing.

Now, where is “fair”?

I recommend you to…

• Follow a diet that involves a reduction of 10-15% of the so-called established weight.
• Do not eat less than 0.5 g of protein per day or more than 1 g of fat per kilo of body weight.
• Eat the carbohydrates necessary to reach the precise calories, but of the complex ones.
• Avoid white sugar as much as possible.
• Practice fasting regularly based on your experience.
