My dad just celebrated his 108 bday September 23rd! 19 children, 3 wives… lives alone and is active, no glasses, no pain as he says when ask.. He have a sound mind, I cater that from playing dominoes and chess. No medication, no diet! Maintain the same weight that I can remember… Doctors think they know, but really don’t know why people live a long life! When my dad is asked what contribute to his long life, he said I don’t know, I’m just thankful… 💕🤷🏽♀️💕🙏🏽
Wow, that some great genes as well. Especially being sound of mind is the most important imo. When people get old, when the mind starts going, imo that's a down hill really fast and not a life I would like to live
Eat healthy, exercise, take vitamin tabs, eat fermented food such as sauerkraut and kimchi, take one spoon of extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar, drink matcha green tea and sleep well. That's what I've done and just celebrated my 80th birthday lately. 😊🤷
@@AmeliaJohnson-m4l Even doing all those things, there’s no guarantee… I know lots of people who don’t do any of those things and are older than 80! lots of mysteries to life… 💕🙏🏽💕🙏🏽
I never eat after around 8pm for most of my life, now I often miss breakfast, eat around 1pm, seems a good balance. I’am 72, 165lbs 6 foot with average build! As for sugar, I have just one small portion of 90% pure chocolate a day, nothing else that’s sweet. Stay away from processed foods, exercise everyday 😊
On top of a pile of other benefits the one I overlooked all this time was the complete elimination of those embarrassing manboobs. Eliminating sugar and doing intermittent fasting is the greatest thing I have ever done in life.
Dr Ekberg is spot on about the hormonal benefits of fasting. Keep up the good work informing people about the possibilities of eating (or not) to live, rather than living to eat.
Yep Keto.....minimal carbs, zero sugar...is amazing. More energy and body fat dissolving. The modern diet is way out of balance (excessive carbs/sugar) and insufficient good fats. 🤮
That’s four years ago I followed your exact recommendations. I successfully stretched the time between meals and reduced the number of times I was eating. Nowadays I eat once a day, but often once on every second day. Three or four times a year I do a full five or six days fasting as well. I don’t feel any discomfort or excruciating hunger. Everything that you explained simply works. I am forever appreciate your hard work and dedication to educate us for many many years. Please never stop, you are a blessing to the world. Thank you Dr. Ekberg!
I always eat after 8 pm. Usually 10pm. Never had an appetite in the morning, and I like zero calorie black coffee. So I went with my strengths rather than fight my lifelong habits. Get up , read the paper, do this, do that, and don't eat anything till 2pm or later. So 10pm to 2PM is a 16 hour fast, which I do 7 days a week. It is my lifestyle now. I started May 1 this year at 190 lbs. Now 172. I'm 74.
Thanks for the video Dr. Ekberg! I am watching Hurricane Helene hitting your area! Lifting up prayers for you, your family, and staff! Am thankful you got the video out in the midst of such turmoil! Be safe!🙏🕊️
Standing with you in prayer for those facing the storms in Florida. In Jesus mighty Name, keep the people in Florida safe. Also Lord, I repent for America and ask You to please have mercy upon the USA. In Jesus Christ Name Amen!
Thank You @angelfriend3710 for your concern. We had a storm last night but nothing broken. About 6 inches of rain in 3 days. Not even internet interruptions 😄
That's wonderful! Thank you for letting me know! I was wondering about that. Glad no one was hurt! Hope you enjoy your day, and have an awesome weekend...so much to be thankful for! 😊
What I found out this month about the wrong thing I was doing wrong with my weight loss. I was eating sweet potatoes, hidden MSG and sugar in my salad dressing and chicken stock and more, I was eating too much protein and I only eat 3oz for lunch and 6 oz with my last meal, and I found out about food starches and how to ease up on healthy Fats after getting into ketosis and keep moving forward with learning something new each day about healthy keto -fasting and life. Amen
*Because you taught me how to do this, Dr. Ekberg:* I just wrapped up a *_9-day_* fast (black morning coffee and herbal tea - can't do plain water!). I'm 52 and generally eat a clean, omnivorous, whole food diet, IF regularly for last 2 years, prolonged fast (previously 3-5 days) maybe once a month. After this extra long (for me) fast my inflammation as measured by "aches and pains" is nearly gone. After 2 years of IF and quite a few 3-5 day fasts I did have _some_ joint and random muscle pain reduction, but not like this. I feel 30, again! So, these things are true to a degree, but going all-in to the full extent of your ability really does make a difference.
I found that eating a can of sardines most days and taking turmeric pills stopped all my knee and back pains, at 60 years old. I am 65 now with no pain. I also walk about 2 miles a day, and hang by my hands from the top of a doorway every day to stretch my shoulders and back. A few years ago this fixed a frozen shouder.
I do IF usually eat once a day at 3pm. Also have coffee with thick cream once a day in the morning. I keep thinking I would like to do a longer fast but worry it might make me too weak. I am 85 but feel much younger. Do you stay at home and rest when you do an extended fast? I would be grateful for any advice. 😊
@@jeffruebens8355 Excellent! That's truly remarkable and what an example to those around you! I'm still re-feeding and just had a large mug of homemade bone broth blended with a "thumb" of fresh turmeric and half an avocado. Aiming to keep the inflammation down as I re-feed and beyond! I, too, walk every day since we have a 2 year old rambunctious Labrador! And my husband installed a hang bar just last year that I use to hang and do a couple of chin ups. Pullups are harder; I can only do one of those. MDs will tell you what you've done for your shoulder and pain is impossible. What a waste of a million dollar education!
@@christinesmith9993 My mom is 77 and started a fasting lifestyle with me when I did 2 years ago. She's done 5-day fasts with no loss of energy or strength. In fact, she feels amazing! She does OMAD or 2MAD most days, but she just did a 36 hour one to reset. I am a homestead wife so I'm always at home. My activity remains the same, no need to cut back for me. My mom, too, just goes about her life. She even had a severe stroke 8 years ago and has to deal with that, too. No "extra" problem for her to fast. You can do it. Listen to your body; it knows what you're capable of even if "you" don't yet! Blessings!!!

I was diagnosed with pre diabetes and fatty lever desease. I reversed these issue by doing 16 /8 intermitted fasting. Now it is my permanent life style. I have lost 30 pounds of weight. I have no more headache and pain in body. My mode remains in very peaceful state. No more fights with wife. Memory has improved alot. I feel strong mentally and physically as well. Before I was suffering from erectile dysfunctional issue as well. Now I have very healthy sexual health. It help to keep with wife calm down as well😂. If you drill well in night, next day wife is in great happy mode 😂
Ich esse nur zwischen 6 Uhr und 8 Uhr abends, den Rest des Tages faste ich. Ich bin 75 und habe keinerlei Probleme mit meiner Gesundheit und mit meinem Gewicht.
I am about to complete my first 72 hour fast and i feel great i have been doing a lot of 24 hour and 48 hours with intermittent fasting in-between each 24 and 48 extended fast just water and some salt as needed during my extended fasts i feel amazing and i have over the last month lost 32 pounds basically a pound a day fasting has changed my life and improved my health and fitness i have changed how i eat and what i eat and the weight is just dropping off of me
It is truly traumatic to grandkids when grand-pa and grand-ma begin to look the same 😊😊. I got to do something about it.. for which i am , thanks to the vids.
My Dad dying at 63 from cancer, after smoking and drinking a lot for decades, robbed his children and grandchildren compared to living to a more normal 85 years old. Former President Carter will be 100 years old in a few days, and he was very active to his 90s. It is nice his great grandchildren got more time with him.
The audio needs an upgrade, not centered in terms of stereo (in the left in headphones) and levels are clipping and causing distortion. Otherwise I love these videos
I stumbled into fasting and it’s benefits by happen chance. I was in the hospital for bleeding from my gut (which led to a Crohn’s diagnosis). They wouldn’t let me eat because they were planning a colonoscopy. Well they kept making me wait longer and longer. I had the traditional thinking - ain’t I going to die, you have to let me eat! Well at 36 hrs I noticed I was not hungry any more. When I was let out I hadn’t eaten for around 48 hrs. At that point I notice I felt GREAT! A lot of other symptoms that I had were gone or much less. That led me down the you tube rabbit whole of fasting (and this channel). I usually only eat once a day and often times skipping a day. I try to do a long fast (~10 days) once per year. And will do short 3 day fast thru out the year. If for some reason I have a higher carb day, I follow that with at least 36 -48hr fast.
Your body could survive for abt 30 days without food until you die, abt 3 days without water until you die. Look at all them holocaust prisoners. They were skin & bones & they survived. Well, some did die.
This was a great motivator to keep going with my (keto diet) time restricted eating - 2 meals only at 10 am/10.30 am and 5 pm. Feel so much better giving my gut a big rest. 😊
Hej Sten did you ever do a video on oxalates? Would really wanna hear your opinion since Im suffering from oxalate poisoning from all the so called "health" food
Thank You @danield1262. I have not done a dedicated video on oxalates, but I have touched on it in half a dozen videos. Many people have problems with oxalates so I typically don't recommend spinach. It is usually related to the type and balance of bacteria in your gut. I might make a dedicated video. 😄
If you don’t have problems with dairy, then it’s good to eat some cheese or dairy with any oxalate foods. The calcium in the dairy helps process the oxalates, from making crystals and then helps to excrete them? The other thing that is important is to improve your microbiome. Add probiotics, and also some B6. Also, if you can drink a glass of water with lemon, any way to get in citric acid. Citric acid dissolves the crystals. Can also take calcium citrate. (Some people eat a bit of raw onion regularly, as that also might help to break up stones and crystals.) There is also a supplement called Chanca Piedra. I am no doctor etc. This is just what I have been discovering while researching because of past issues that I have had with oxalates. So passing it on.
I love what you share, thank you.This was very helpful, you are right on when it comes to challenges to fasting… I wonder what’s behind your statement abut grandchildren being traumatized by more androgynous presenting grandparents, I bet you have a theory! Can’t wait to hear about it.
Hello Dr. I consider that your video has been so interesting and useful for me, you have explained so clearly this topic including several suggestions to improve a healthy life style. Tthank you so much.
Thank you, Dr Ekberg! IF and low carb works best for me. Lately I've been hearing a lot about the importance of protein, especially for menopausal women, and the need to eat more meals. I can't lose weight this way. How much protein do you recommend to keep and build muscle while losing fat?
I fast 20:4 and it has helped me with losing alot of weight and has helped with pain. I don't wanna live to be 100 in this system of things, waiting on the next as the Bible speaks of in Revalation 21:3,4
Thats what I do. I don't eat at home in tye morning, I take my yogurt with chia with to the office, I am busy with work for the most part, sometimes I forget i had to eat until almost 1pm. I then eat my yogurt, have another tiny meal perhaps a couple hours later and then have dinner mostly before 8 pm (just because my commute doesn't allow for earlier meal). I also learned that most times if you have cravings in the evening, especially if you had a filling dinner, it is very ofter thirst. Drink water, drink some mineral rich water (that's what I do, plenty of that in Europe) - and my craving is satisfied. Oftentimes evening hunger is simply masked thirst
Thank you very much for the video and for the nice and engaging lecture. 🙂 Thank you again for the Czech subtitles 👍 Please always add Czech subtitles. I have a full disability pension and watch your videos for health reasons... Unfortunately my English is not so good that I can watch your videos without subtitles. Thank you. I share. I can also confirm that intermittent fasting really works Kind regards from the Czech Republic 🙂🇨🇿
Great video with one mistake (16 min). Natural fasting begins not when we stop eating but several hours later when digestion has finished and we only use our stored energy.
I bloat, feel horrible, get wooly headed and generally have an allergic reaction to carbs. Started with keto, but still had stomach problems. I mean, lettuce would give me gas. 😊 So I started carnivore, and have lost 6kg in four months, no bloating and can focus so much better. I’m not saying it’s for everyone. I just used it to see which foods were bad for me - mild chilli sauce is off the menu 😢, for example. Sorry to go off on a tangent.
Thank you for your encouragement regarding intermittent fasting. I'm currently following a 16:8 schedule but find it difficult to extend my fasting window to 18:6 due to my small appetite, I have to have three meals a day. I'm worried that three meals within 6 hours might lead to higher blood sugar levels especially as a vegetarian with a 40% carbohydrate intake. Would it be beneficial to incorporate three moderate carb meals within my 6-hour eating window and extending my fasting window to 18:6 ? Please advice.
Thank you for the video. Really enjoy your channel. Tired of being 50 - 60 lbs overweight at 56. On day 5 of intermittent fasting …I seem to have naturally drifted to a 19:5. I don’t drink soda and I drink very little juice. Mostly water. But…I do drink 2-4 regular beers a day…sometimes more. Decided to stop that along with the intermittent fasting over 6 weeks and then reassess my overall lifestyle. My diet is pretty healthy. Quality Fats & protein complex carbs. Working out with anaerobic and aerobic weight training 4-5 days a week. Already feel great. Can you give me an idea of any additional average outcomes I might see or feel over the next remaining 5 1/2 weeks? I’m sure you may not have the time so I understand if you can’t answer. Thank you again. Wish you the best. 👍🏼😄💪🏼 Dave
Dr Ekberg, I am so confused how to break my fast! Listening to you, the way is to feel full and have two meals after fast and no snack! But then some say don’t have a big meal after fast!! Better to have something light and eat in two hours again!! Can you please let us know the best way of eating after breaking a fast? Much appreciated Dr Ekberg
Then you must be American, because normal food with quite some complex carbs seems not to be available there. Not really sustainable, animal-considering. Some leading gerontoligists abstain mostly from animal-based food.
Doc can you do a video about whiskey and cholesterol? I drink 1 dram (2 oz) of whiskey before bedtime. My cholesterol has been ok for years using a statin. Recently my LDL went up and why wife blames the whiskey, but i know it has to be diet and lack if exercise. Male, 58, Average Diet, Low Exercise.
Great video overall, but you really missed the mark on protein intake imo. We should be very specific and aware of how much protein we need to consume. The RDA is way too low imo (0.8 grams per Kg of bodyweight). Older adults (65+) should be consuming 1-1.2, and active people that exercise often should be consuming 1.2-2 depending on training intensity and goals. I am very active. I lift weight and do some cardio. I consume at least 2 grams of protein per kilogram, or 1 gram per pound of bodyweight roughly.
👍 Thanks for the video. You described a continuous fast like 15:9 and it's benefits. Are there any benefits to other approaches such as: 1) doing a 15:9 fast one week a month or two months; 2) doing 15:9 only 3 days a week. The human body likes stability, right? So wouldn't such frequent "changes" be harmful? 🧐 Thanks in advance!
@Kickassyourcomfortzone I just finished a 36hr fast. The body increases ghrelin as a hunger cue around your normal eating times. Just keep yourself busy during that time and it will pass. It's a great reset. Some ppl find a little bit of butter helps to extend it till they can get used to not eating. Eating low carb lifestyle helps. It's more of a mind over body thing. 😊
First night is the hardest to go through. Then the following morning I treat it as any other fasting day. I also do a workout so that I get unto autophogy faster. Drink heaps of water or tea to get through the hunger times.
Thank You @MrDenisJoshua. I am now dubbing the original English audio track into multiple languages so I can get the message of health out to more people around the world. Depending on what region you are in when you click the video, and based on what your default language settings are, TH-cam will automatically serve it out to you in that language. To choose your preferred language for a given video, simply go to the bottom right of the screen, (or maybe top right on mobile), and click on the gear icon (Settings). Then click on "Audio track" and select the language of your choice. I am diligently working to translate and upload more videos in more languages every day, but it will still take some time to get most or all of the videos translated. Thank you for watching and feel free to share this feature if you know people who prefer another language.
Thank You @Barakatic. They complement each other. Reducing protein and fasting (no protein) both stimulate autophagy. Intermittent fasting is something you can do forever. FMD is something you can do periodically, just like longer fasting. 😄
I'd like you to do a segment on leg pain that doesn't go away no matter what I do. My doctor just kept upping my ropinorole and gabapentin. I finally threw those in the trash as they did nothing. Changing doctor to see if someone actually cares. I am diabetic and my lady doctor told me to stop doing finger sticks unless I thought my blood sugar was low. That was the last straw.
Fasting during sleep means all activities of body are partially suspended. This means that the body requires less energy. Fasting will only help at day time when our body works and consume stored energy. This is what I believe. Please guide. thanks

Some of the best videos on YT, Thank You.
Love all your teachings. Thanks so much
I am about to complete my first 72 hour fast and i feel great i have been doing a lot of 24 hour and 48 hours with intermittent fasting in-between each 24 and 48 extended fast just water and some salt as needed during my extended fasts i feel amazing and i have over the last month lost 32 pounds basically a pound a day fasting has changed my life and improved my health and fitness i have changed how i eat and what i eat and the weight is just dropping off of me
It is truly traumatic to grandkids when grand-pa and grand-ma begin to look the same 😊😊. I got to do something about it.. for which i am , thanks to the vids.
My Dad dying at 63 from cancer, after smoking and drinking a lot for decades, robbed his children and grandchildren compared to living to a more normal 85 years old. Former President Carter will be 100 years old in a few days, and he was very active to his 90s. It is nice his great grandchildren got more time with him.
Thank You @dancunchiriga. LOL 😄
The audio needs an upgrade, not centered in terms of stereo (in the left in headphones) and levels are clipping and causing distortion. Otherwise I love these videos
I stumbled into fasting and it’s benefits by happen chance. I was in the hospital for bleeding from my gut (which led to a Crohn’s diagnosis). They wouldn’t let me eat because they were planning a colonoscopy. Well they kept making me wait longer and longer. I had the traditional thinking - ain’t I going to die, you have to let me eat! Well at 36 hrs I noticed I was not hungry any more. When I was let out I hadn’t eaten for around 48 hrs. At that point I notice I felt GREAT! A lot of other symptoms that I had were gone or much less. That led me down the you tube rabbit whole of fasting (and this channel). I usually only eat once a day and often times skipping a day. I try to do a long fast (~10 days) once per year. And will do short 3 day fast thru out the year. If for some reason I have a higher carb day, I follow that with at least 36 -48hr fast.
BTW, higher carb day to me is anything over 30-40 g. I usually try to keep it to 20 g or less
Your body could survive for abt 30 days without food until you die, abt 3 days without water until you die. Look at all them holocaust prisoners. They were skin & bones & they survived. Well, some did die.
@@Vagabond_Etranger Angus Barbieri fasted for 382 days. No ill effects. He just cunsumed tea, coffee, water and vitamins.
@@TheFjordflier Wow, didn't know that. Good to know. Learned something new every day. 😆
This was a great motivator to keep going with my (keto diet) time restricted eating - 2 meals only at 10 am/10.30 am and 5 pm. Feel so much better giving my gut a big rest. 😊
Hej Sten did you ever do a video on oxalates? Would really wanna hear your opinion since Im suffering from oxalate poisoning from all the so called "health" food
Me too since I have CKD3😢
Yeah I got arthritis from old ski accidents I’m careful which vegetables I eat anything high in oxalate no thank you
Thank You @danield1262. I have not done a dedicated video on oxalates, but I have touched on it in half a dozen videos. Many people have problems with oxalates so I typically don't recommend spinach. It is usually related to the type and balance of bacteria in your gut. I might make a dedicated video. 😄
If you don’t have problems with dairy, then it’s good to eat some cheese or dairy with any oxalate foods. The calcium in the dairy helps process the oxalates, from making crystals and then helps to excrete them? The other thing that is important is to improve your microbiome. Add probiotics, and also some B6. Also, if you can drink a glass of water with lemon, any way to get in citric acid. Citric acid dissolves the crystals. Can also take calcium citrate. (Some people eat a bit of raw onion regularly, as that also might help to break up stones and crystals.) There is also a supplement called Chanca Piedra. I am no doctor etc. This is just what I have been discovering while researching because of past issues that I have had with oxalates. So passing it on.
@@dfinite1111 Chanca Piedra kurweise als Tee trinken! 👌

Thank you @jessicazheng8750 for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.😄
Thank you dr ekberg your videos change my life..
Thanks a lot for your medical advices
Thanks Doctor, have a nice weekend.
Thank You @siuterufumi1234. Same to you 😄
Thanks to the right information I am taking from here and getting them into practice, I feel much better and healthier.❤
Thank you Doctor! This is the best way!
I love what you share, thank you.This was very helpful, you are right on when it comes to challenges to fasting… I wonder what’s behind your statement abut grandchildren being traumatized by more androgynous presenting grandparents, I bet you have a theory! Can’t wait to hear about it.
Thank you, Dr. Ekberg.
Fantastic. Thank you Doctor Ekberg
Hello Dr. I consider that your video has been so interesting and useful for me, you have explained so clearly this topic including several suggestions to improve a healthy life style. Tthank you so much.
dr ekberg im a health champion I love your videos! I fast and my wife fasts
Thank You @Bmattvrana. Glad to hear it. Keep it up 😄
Das Video fand ich sehr gut und eine Bestätigung dessen wie ich es schon praktiziere. ❤ Dank❤
Also mache ich es weiter.
Thank you somuch sir
Thank you, Dr Ekberg! IF and low carb works best for me. Lately I've been hearing a lot about the importance of protein, especially for menopausal women, and the need to eat more meals. I can't lose weight this way. How much protein do you recommend to keep and build muscle while losing fat?
I fast 20:4 and it has helped me with losing alot of weight and has helped with pain. I don't wanna live to be 100 in this system of things, waiting on the next as the Bible speaks of in Revalation 21:3,4
I heard IF first. from your post
then i got a lot about fasting and had a good health now.
thanks a lot.
Thank you very much for your in-depth videos. I love this.
Thats what I do. I don't eat at home in tye morning, I take my yogurt with chia with to the office, I am busy with work for the most part, sometimes I forget i had to eat until almost 1pm. I then eat my yogurt, have another tiny meal perhaps a couple hours later and then have dinner mostly before 8 pm (just because my commute doesn't allow for earlier meal).
I also learned that most times if you have cravings in the evening, especially if you had a filling dinner, it is very ofter thirst. Drink water, drink some mineral rich water (that's what I do, plenty of that in Europe) - and my craving is satisfied. Oftentimes evening hunger is simply masked thirst
Please make a video about supplements used for bodybuilding like whey protein, keratin...
you don't need them.
Thank you very much for the video and for the nice and engaging lecture. 🙂
Thank you again for the Czech subtitles 👍
Please always add Czech subtitles.
I have a full disability pension and watch your videos for health reasons...
Unfortunately my English is not so good that I can watch your videos without subtitles.
Thank you.
I share.
I can also confirm that intermittent fasting really works
Kind regards from the Czech Republic 🙂🇨🇿
Great video with one mistake (16 min). Natural fasting begins not when we stop eating but several hours later when digestion has finished and we only use our stored energy.
I follow your system sir. I am very happy. Great job. God bless you 😊🙏💐
thank you very much for reminding and motivating
@@verenama6519 Hi 👋 nice meeting you 😊
Dankeschön. Bin soooo froh das Video auf deutsch hören kann ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dr
Your video is great.
If it has Chinese subtitles will benefit more people 😀
Thank you @wky1630 I did translate to Chinese and have an audio track.😄
I bloat, feel horrible, get wooly headed and generally have an allergic reaction to carbs. Started with keto, but still had stomach problems. I mean, lettuce would give me gas. 😊 So I started carnivore, and have lost 6kg in four months, no bloating and can focus so much better. I’m not saying it’s for everyone. I just used it to see which foods were bad for me - mild chilli sauce is off the menu 😢, for example. Sorry to go off on a tangent.
Thank you very much for everything this channel has helped me a lot!
Thank you for your encouragement regarding intermittent fasting. I'm currently following a 16:8 schedule but find it difficult to extend my fasting window to 18:6 due to my small appetite, I have to have three meals a day. I'm worried that three meals within 6 hours might lead to higher blood sugar levels especially as a vegetarian with a 40% carbohydrate intake.
Would it be beneficial to incorporate three moderate carb meals within my 6-hour eating window and extending my fasting window to 18:6 ? Please advice.
Thank you for the video. Really enjoy your channel.
Tired of being 50 - 60 lbs overweight at 56.
On day 5 of intermittent fasting …I seem to have naturally drifted to a 19:5.
I don’t drink soda and I drink very little juice. Mostly water. But…I do drink 2-4 regular beers a day…sometimes more.
Decided to stop that along with the intermittent fasting over 6 weeks and then reassess my overall lifestyle.
My diet is pretty healthy. Quality Fats & protein complex carbs.
Working out with anaerobic and aerobic weight training 4-5 days a week.
Already feel great.
Can you give me an idea of any additional average outcomes I might see or feel over the next remaining 5 1/2 weeks?
I’m sure you may not have the time so I understand if you can’t answer.
Thank you again.
Wish you the best. 👍🏼😄💪🏼

I love your videos.
They are so helpful in so many ways.
I was wondering if you could do one on how too much east in our stomach affects our body.
PREGUNTA, hasta que edad pueden los adultos mayores de 75 años hacer ayunos intermitentes? Gracias por compartir sus inconmsurables conocimientos...
Dr Ekberg, I am so confused how to break my fast! Listening to you, the way is to feel full and have two meals after fast and no snack! But then some say don’t have a big meal after fast!! Better to have something light and eat in two hours again!! Can you please let us know the best way of eating after breaking a fast? Much appreciated Dr Ekberg
The easiest way to live to be. 100 years old is to stay away from doctors!!!
💯
Most doctors work for criminal organisations!! Should be bought to justice!! 😳😳😳
😂…or at least try!
The ABSOLUTE BEST WAY--AVOID DOCTORS

i LOVED THIS !! thankyou so much !!
Organic Pasture Raised Chicken , Wild salmon , tuna , grass fed steaks with lots of good fats is working for me .
Then you must be American, because normal food with quite some complex carbs seems not to be available there. Not really sustainable, animal-considering. Some leading gerontoligists abstain mostly from animal-based food.
Watch out for the mercury in the tuna if you eat it a lot

Doc can you do a video about whiskey and cholesterol? I drink 1 dram (2 oz) of whiskey before bedtime. My cholesterol has been ok for years using a statin. Recently my LDL went up and why wife blames the whiskey, but i know it has to be diet and lack if exercise. Male, 58, Average Diet, Low Exercise.

Excelent información. Thanks 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
Great video overall, but you really missed the mark on protein intake imo. We should be very specific and aware of how much protein we need to consume. The RDA is way too low imo (0.8 grams per Kg of bodyweight). Older adults (65+) should be consuming 1-1.2, and active people that exercise often should be consuming 1.2-2 depending on training intensity and goals. I am very active. I lift weight and do some cardio. I consume at least 2 grams of protein per kilogram, or 1 gram per pound of bodyweight roughly.
👍 Thanks for the video. You described a continuous fast like 15:9 and it's benefits. Are there any benefits to other approaches such as: 1) doing a 15:9 fast one week a month or two months; 2) doing 15:9 only 3 days a week. The human body likes stability, right? So wouldn't such frequent "changes" be harmful? 🧐
Thanks in advance!
I do a 40hr fast once a week, and the other days 18/6. Weekends I don't fast as strictly, maybe 14hr.
Wow, I can get to 20hr fast, but I’ll push for 40-48 soon!
how could you sleep with hunger? :O
@Kickassyourcomfortzone I just finished a 36hr fast. The body increases ghrelin as a hunger cue around your normal eating times. Just keep yourself busy during that time and it will pass. It's a great reset. Some ppl find a little bit of butter helps to extend it till they can get used to not eating. Eating low carb lifestyle helps. It's more of a mind over body thing. 😊
@@kiainfpe9 kool thank u!
First night is the hardest to go through. Then the following morning I treat it as any other fasting day. I also do a workout so that I get unto autophogy faster. Drink heaps of water or tea to get through the hunger times.
Hi Doc Ekberg!
Could you please make a video in a relation to Chewing Gum?
Hi @gultenbozkurt123. How about this one th-cam.com/video/BtO5huUNL9Y/w-d-xo.html 😄
Found a couple of natural gums at Walmart. The one I like is Stevita hum sugar free gum. Cinnamon. Free from aspartame,bht, artificial sweeteners.
Thanks a lot for italian language in your video :-)
Thank You @MrDenisJoshua. I am now dubbing the original English audio track into multiple languages so I can get the message of health out to more people around the world.
Depending on what region you are in when you click the video, and based on what your default language settings are, TH-cam will automatically serve it out to you in that language.
To choose your preferred language for a given video, simply go to the bottom right of the screen, (or maybe top right on mobile), and click on the gear icon (Settings). Then click on "Audio track" and select the language of your choice.
I am diligently working to translate and upload more videos in more languages every day, but it will still take some time to get most or all of the videos translated. Thank you for watching and feel free to share this feature if you know people who prefer another language.

Hi Dr., How can I compare this with your previous video for autophagy by reducing protein without fasting? .
That's a great question.
Thank You @Barakatic. They complement each other. Reducing protein and fasting (no protein) both stimulate autophagy. Intermittent fasting is something you can do forever. FMD is something you can do periodically, just like longer fasting. 😄
En el ayuno se puede tomar agua y infusiones? Logicamente sin endulzar. Gracias.

Awesome vid as always!. If the world was a better place, perhaps i might wanna stay till 100.
Thanks
I'd like you to do a segment on leg pain that doesn't go away no matter what I do. My doctor just kept upping my ropinorole and gabapentin. I finally threw those in the trash as they did nothing. Changing doctor to see if someone actually cares. I am diabetic and my lady doctor told me to stop doing finger sticks unless I thought my blood sugar was low. That was the last straw.
Wonderful wonderful Sten from your old lady 89 from Scotland😀🦋👍🌈🏴
Great explanation!
Fasting during sleep means all activities of body are partially suspended. This means that the body requires less energy. Fasting will only help at day time when our body works and consume stored energy. This is what I believe. Please guide. thanks
congratulations for the videos on the channel. A question: can I still train by fasting in the morning? Thank you.
Stan, D U bist es, der 100 werden muss. Unbedingt! BITTE ! ❤
