A rumbling stomach is a sign that the cells in your body are at work!
In recent years, a gene referred to as Sirtuin has gained a lot of attention. One condition for the switch on this life-governing gene to be activated is an empty stomach. In other words, the gene doesn’t become active unless you’re hungry for a period of time.
In modern times, however, people eat at meal times even if they aren’t hungry. This is believed to have harmful effects on the body because the human body isn’t designed to thrive in a constant state of satisfaction. Based on information from various medical sources and personal experience, this revolutionary book explains that having one meal a day is the best lifestyle for human beings and suggests that people try it. Just by switching to having one meal a day, ailing parts of your body will be restored, you will revert to your healthy weight, your skin will gradually become younger, and your body will continually benefit in many ways!

It’s likely that people who believe that having three meals a day is common knowledge will find the notion of having only one meal a day to be preposterous, but it actually has solid medical grounds. More and more executives are adopting this eating habit. What is appealing about this method is that there are no particular restrictions on what should be eaten in that single meal of the day.
In short, you’re free to eat whatever you would like to eat. As your health improves, you will no longer have any desire to eat unnecessary foods or foods that might harm your body. In other words, you will automatically become healthy and lose unnecessary weight, and your skin will have its youthfulness restored. What could be more exciting than that? After sticking with this meal plan for over 10 years, Dr. Nagumo looks like he’s in his 30s, although he’s actually 56 years old! I’ll also try to embark on a lifestyle of having only one meal a day.
