Eat, Fast and Live Longer

A Revolution without Medication

Horizon - Eat, Fast and Live Longer

Michael Mosley

Michael Mosley examines the science behind fasting, as he sets himself the ambitious goal of living longer, staying younger and losing weight without changing his life style.

I love life, so I want to remain young, energetic, enjoy it for as long as I can. I'm medically trained. I know all the standard advice for staying healthy. But in my case, it doesn't seem to be working. I've discovered that my body is not the lean, long-live machine I would like it to be.

I wanted to see if science can offer a different way to stop the rot, slow the clock, so I set off to find experts who are trying to combat the ravages of ageing.

What I discovered was truly surprising. It involves no pills, no injections and no hidden cost. It's all a question of what you eat. Or rather, what you don't eat. It's about fasting.

Work Those Muscles

But fasting made easier. The big thing is that this is the beginning of something which I think could be huge. If it takes off and if it heads off in the direction I imagine it will, then this... this could be genuinely revolutionary.
