Eat, fast and live longer

This should be an interesting program, tonight at 9pm on BBC 2. 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 lifestyle. I will add my comments after I have seen the program.

After viewing the program it would seem that fasting two days a week, and eating normally on the other five will reduce fatness in the body so ensuring protection against diseases such as cancer, and heart disease, thus reducing ageing . On fasting days no more than 500 calories should be consumed. I think I could manage this and may give it a try. What do you think?
