Lol. For years I talk about fasting here on HN and get downvoted to oblivion. Intermittent fasting is what they now say is healthy because it means you're still consuming food so they still make money. A far better alternative and a cure to many many "diseases" (yes, cure, I said it) is a prolonged water fast (10 to 40 days), and/or a dry fast (no food no water) for 2 to 10 days.
