The practice of fasting – abstaining from food and non-water beverages – has been known for years to be an effective non-pharmacological strategy for counteracting some of the most entrenched modern ailments, from cardiovascular disease and cancer to diabetes and diminishing cognition. However, because the evidence for this came mainly from studies in rats and mice, rather than in humans, intermittent fasting remained an interesting, but somewhat fringe field of research and was largely ignored by the medical community. That has changed, however, with the publication of some small but promising investigations showing positive outcomes in human patients.
