Thank you for this inspiring piece! It is so heartening to see science catching up with ancient wisdom. Fasting has been the best intervention for preventative health for me. I'm glad to see that more and more research is supporting its benefits. I've been eating one meal a day for decades and do long-term fasting to initiate autophagy. I also enjoy barefoot walking on the beach or grass as documented in my stories. Many religions and spiritual practices embrace fasting. I summarized my research in a paper last year. I link it here as a reference to your insightul piece. https://medium.com/sensible-biohacking-transhumanism/why-spiritual-people-adamant-on-fasting-545665f9d7d5
