What is pulsing?

"Pulsing" refers to a dietary practice involving alternating periods of nourishment and restriction to bolster the body's vitality and potentially influence aging. This concept was notably discussed by Ori Hofmeckler, an advocate of intermittent fasting through his book, "The Warrior Diet". According to Hofmeckler, intermittently over-nourishing the body, given that it’s not done too frequently, can have significant beneficial effects on vitality. The idea is supported by cellular studies demonstrating that this form of dietary pulsing can activate the body's defense mechanisms against aging, as seen in research involving the compound resveratrol. In studies, mice that were given resveratrol every other day on a regular diet exhibited dramatically longer lifespans compared to other groups 1.
