People who have done 3day+ fasts for YEARS (or DECADES)... - your results...?

So my question is simple: The “concept” that fasting is in GENERAL good for your health has been around for…? Milenia…? AFAIK even socrates or some other greek/roman famous people have known and talked about the benefits of fasting…

​

So there simply HAVE TO be quite a lot (?) of people who have been doing 3 days (or even more days) fasts literally for YEARS, or even DECADES… Like started doing 3+day fasts several times a year in the… 90s etc…

My question is: Are here (on reddit) such people? Do you know such people? Have u read/heard stories about such people…?

​

What (“if any”) benefits were reported about/by these people who have been doing 3days+ fasts for a LONG TIME (years… decades even…)…? Like did they look on average 10 years younger? Did they lived past 90 years old…? Did they nearly ever got sick or cancer etc…?

​

Any reports about people doing fasting (3days +) for YEARS (decades) and their results…?

​

Thank you

I use it as a tool to change things in my current life here and now. I don’t think or care about the long term effects of it

Fasting brings on fat loss and that’s only a good thing isn’t it, unless you are underweight to start with
