Hmmm, could it be that there is something wrong with the advice and treatments people are getting from the health care system?

How to maximise health/lifespan ?
Watch me for a week....and do the opposite of everything I do.

Fasting adds life to one's health span. "A complete fast is a complete and literal denial of self. It is the truest prayer. A genuine fast cleanses the body, mind and soul. It crucifies the flesh and, to that extent, sets the soul free" - Mahatma Gandhi

Since the people that have a lower life expectancy are much more likely to NOT follow the advice and treatment from the health care system it is easy to see the problem is not the advice but the people following an easier, more pleasurable lifestyle that have a negative impact in their health.
Depending on the specific case, recent studies seem to indicate this is beneficial after certain ages, but may be detrimental on young people.
