There’s a lot of info about IF on YouTube. Basic practice is 16/8. Eat during the 8 hours but only two meals, no snacks. I do one meal in the morning, then no food or calorie beverages till the next meal 23 hours later. I’ve also always taken anti inflammatories such as turmeric with bioperine, ginger and Ceylon cinnamon. My mother and uncle were crippled by RA which ruined their lives. On my fathers side they all had osteoarthritis, painful joints but not crippling. I always assumed I would have some type of arthritis as I got older but so far I’ve never had the slightest pain or stiffness. Never a major health problem, rarely anything minor. I feel like I have the many memories of an old man with the good health and sense of well being of a young man.

I’ve also always practiced self discipline. Once I read a book about a Hindu saint who considered self-control extremely important. At one point in the book he said “Discipline gives strength. A bird gets its strength from air. A king from his army. A man from his sense of discipline. Without discipline a man, be he a king or a Yogi, is but a human beast.” That made a great impression on me. I never forgot that. Just imagine how much better our society would be if the schools taught self control and the power of good habits rather than the Woke race and gender poison to children in our schools.
