Having passed my first year of practicing Intermittent Fasting as a lifestyle, I feel I've learned enough to offer support and information especially relevant to older people. While there are examples on other platform of elderly fasters having great success, it's a mixed bag. Many issues with older folks aren't addressed in those forums. I hope to provide that support, authenticated by my own octogenarian status and success with this lifestyle change.
While weight issues are common among the elderly, there often are other issues with more urgency. These center around health and quality of life. A common mindset of the elderly is the sense of impending doom, which includes a variety of other factors, such as the absence of hope, and fear of the future, a yielding to resignation that often expresses itself as disregard for oneself, both in appearance and in health. I hope to counter this mindset with information on how Intermittent Fasting participates in the human body's own mechanisms for survival to reverse many of the debilities associated with the elderly. It's not a "fountain of youth," so much as a fountain for the hopefulness of youth.
