Best Eating Schedule for Health and Longevity

Fasting Schedule Benefits Under Ideal Conditions

This table evaluates fasting schedules purely by biological benefits, assuming perfect compliance and optimal protein/nutrient intake. Ratings focus on longevity mechanisms like autophagy, senolysis, and metabolic health.
