Is frequent eating normal?

Fasting, contrary to initial perceptions, aligns with our evolutionary biology:

1. Survival Mechanism: Frequent eating, not fasting, can be detrimental to health and longevity, contrary to popular belief.

2. Animal Comparison: Wild animals and traditionally fed domestic animals demonstrate health benefits from periods of fasting or infrequent feeding.

3. Evolutionary Perspective: Human biology evolved over millennia with intermittent fasting as a natural rhythm, promoting metabolic efficiency and resilience.

4. Modern Challenges: The shift towards frequent and readily available food has contributed to rising rates of chronic diseases in recent millennia.

5. Metabolic Adaptations: Humans are biologically equipped with mechanisms that favor fat-burning over fat storage, reflecting our historical dietary patterns.
