tHE oLDEST cuRE IN THE world

A journalist delves into the history, science—and practice—of fasting, an ancient cure enjoying a dynamic resurgence
When should we eat, and when should we not?
The answers to these simple questions are not at all what you might expect. Stop eating for long enough, and you’ll set in motion cellular repairs that can slow aging and prevent and reverse diseases like diabetes and hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis and epilepsy, asthma and schizophrenia, and much more. Beyond exploring the modern science of fasting, Hendricks takes us on a tour of its surprisingly expansive history, from the ancient Chinese woodcarver who fasted to still his mind and “to forget I have four limbs,” to the unlikely nineteenth-century doctor whose stupendous forty-day fast on a New York stage caused a stir around the world and inaugurated the modern era of therapeutic fasting that we’re still living in.
