“…It is enriched in micronutrients and single food items or groups that have been associated with a better mental health status. Specifically, it involves low intake of dietary cholesterol, total and saturated fat, and trans-fatty acids, and high intake of antioxidant vitamins, dietary fibers, folate, and carbohydrates during fasting versus non-fasting periods [22,[26][27][28][29] while ferrum levels are not significantly affected by fasting [30]. Previous studies have shown that increased consumption of fruits, vegetables, fish, and seafood was associated with a decreased risk for depression and cognitive impairment and lower levels of anxiety [31][32][33][34].…”

“…We recently completed a large project examining the impact of lifelong COC fasting on nutrient intake and various health indicators. We showed that (a) men and women fully adhering to COC fasting for decades, whether being older [1] or younger [2], did not differ in bone mineral density, bone mineral content, or prevalence of osteopenia, osteoporosis, and bone fracture from non-fasting counterparts; (b) abstinence from dairy products and meat does not adversely affect musculoskeletal metabolism or bone density [3]; (c) COC fasters had lower vitamin D status than non-fasting controls, although without impact on bone health [4]; and (d) differences in protein intake from diverse animal and plant sources, as well as in total, had a minor (if any) impact on bone health [5].…”
