Abstract

Diets are widely recognized as a critical factor in human life expectancy. For example, the possible lifestyle of individuals in the Antediluvian Period serves as a useful example. The immune system is a vital component in safeguarding the human body against foreign invaders, making it crucial to strengthen it. Life expectancy has allegedly declined significantly since the Antediluvian Period due to reasons primarily relating to immunodeficiency, nutritional deficiencies, and excessive sugar intake. This paper provides a detailed analysis of these three aspects of a healthy diet. The findings reveal that the type of sugar consumed plays a crucial role in an individual's overall well-being. Additionally, the paper indicates that intermittent fasting can help improve working memory, enhance heart health and physical performance, prevent obesity, and reduce tissue damage.
