Fasting may reverse the aging process and prolong your life
Consider the following:
In addition to the Human Growth Hormone that is released more
frequently during a fast, an anti-aging hormone is also produced
more efficiently. "The only reliable way to extend the lifespan of a
mammal is under-nutrition without malnutrition." A study was
performed on earthworms that demonstrated the extension of life
due to fasting. The experiment was performed in the 1930s by
isolating one worm and putting it on a cycle of fasting and feeding.
The isolated worm outlasted its relatives by 19 generations, while
still maintaining its youthful physiological traits. The worm was able
to survive on its own tissue for months. Once the size of the worm
began to decrease, the scientists would resume feeding it at which
point it showed great vigor and energy. "The life-span extension of
these worms was the equivalent of keeping a man alive for 600 to
700 years."

There have been similar studies conducted with mice. Those studies
say that the mice who where periodically forced to fast lived up to 5
times longer than those who were allowed to eat all the time.
I don't know of any studies conducted on humans, but regular
fasters usually live easily more than 100 years and remain very
active until their very last days.
Fasting has also countless other benefits. Since this book is about
how to cure acne I'm not putting them all here. If you are
interested just search the internet for 'fasting' or 'fasting benefits'
and you'll learn all that you need to know.
