and so I have a question can starvation

actually give you a longer life I mean

it’s a weird question because of course

it’s going to starve you and you’re

gonna die early right but a version of

starvation can actually extend your life

let’s talk about that so when you don’t

eat as frequently you actually live

longer not eating or fasting stimulates

something very very very interesting it

stimulates certain genes that help you

survive and repair and one of those

genes is called sirtuins

so sirtuins have very interesting

effects it’s actually quite fascinating

because they’re the anti-aging gene okay

so when you have DNA breaks this gene

can repair those so you have in the cell

you have these little proofreaders that

go in there and look for errors in the

genetic code you know they want to

actually clean out any mutations which

are little alterations in the genetic

code so you have all these different

things that can happen in this code and

there could be little breaks there could

be mutations where your body has a

capacity to scan find the air clip it

out replace it with something new and

fix it and it’s very very accurately

done it’s actually just mind-blowing

so sirtuins is involved in the repair

process because you don’t want to have

an alteration in your genetic code

because that can lead to mutations and

cancer and early death so two ins

actually decrease oxidative stress they

increase your resistance to stress so

when someone says that in termina

fasting is stressful for the body or the

adrenals it’s not it actually makes you

really tough it makes you resist dress

at the cellular level it protects you it

decreases inflammation it actually helps

you make new mitochondria those are the

energy factors of the cell they

decreases free radical damage so it’s

kind of like a very powerful antioxidant

all right now let’s talk about some

other things that can also decrease

oxidative stress

one is beta-hydroxybutyrate okay what is

that that is a type of ketone so look at

this we got ketosis and I F together can

help you decrease oxidative stress and

help you live longer that’s cool and

here’s another one called resveratrol

it’s that chemical compound that

phytonutrient in red wine that has a

capacity to increase the lifespan in the

yeast and in fish by 59% there’s not a

lot of studies in humans at this point

it’s still ongoing well they did a study

with mice giving them this compound on a

high-fat diet and they compared it to

another diet they found that it

increased survival it increased insulin

sensitivity which is very interesting so

if we combine in a minute fasting with

healthy ketosis with a water red wine in

fact you’re not going to even feel

stress at all right you’re gonna feel

really good all the time and I’m just

being sarcastic if you want to take this

taken in a supplement form not in the

alcohol form because the alcohol is not

going to help you live longer it’s gonna

mess with your liver and I’m not even

recommending you take this supplement

all I’m saying is that this has the

capacity to decrease oxidative stress

and there’s a lot of research right now

I would rather have you focus on your

foods healthy ketosis and definitely get

them in a fasting because it has the

potential to really help you live a lot

longer all right guys thanks for
