Description

Could intermittent fasting or time restricted eating help you stay safe from the coronavirus? Is it a good idea to put the human body under metabolic "stress", when many are already faced with a particularly stressful time? It's not a simple "Yes" or "No" answer. In this podcast, Geoffrey Woo & Dr. Latt Mansor explore the existing scientific literature behind intermittent fasting and dive deep into a recently published study, which showed that healthy participants actually boosted their immune system through 30 days of consecutive fasting. Extrapolating data from both this study and others, they come to their own conclusions and offer their best guidance to how one should think about intermittent fasting during the COVID-19 crisis.
