Fasting after 60: described metabolic hopes and where benefits may stop

What does fasting actually do to your body as you age after 60? Can it support healthy aging, improve metabolic health, and help you maintain a healthier weight — or are there important limits you should understand? In this video, we explore the science behind **fasting after 60**, including how the body responds to periods without food, what researchers know about intermittent fasting, and where the potential benefits may stop. You'll discover how fasting may affect blood sugar regulation, insulin sensitivity, metabolism, and other factors associated with healthy aging.
