Key Takeaways: Contrary to popular belief, you need to expose your body to stressors regularly if you want to optimize your health. This is because by exposing your body to stress, it adapts itself to it in a way where it becomes stronger and more resilient over time. When it comes to achieving optimal health and longevity, the foundations are important because you need to have that strong foundation to build a strong house. What you think is what you attract — and the RAS is responsible for it.The reticular activating system (RAS) is a network of neurons located in the brain stem that project anteriorly to the hypothalamus to mediate behavior, as well as both posteriorly to the thalamus and directly to the cortex for activation of awake, desynchronized cortical EEG patterns. Because you could be purchasing the best supplements in the world and following the best exercise routines, but if your foundations are weak, that house of yours will fall apart. While it’s difficult to restrict your calories by eating less - and dangerous for your health if incorrectly done - there are some different techniques you can tap into to mimic those survival mechanisms that take place during caloric restriction. According to Ben, intermittent fasting is the best way as it has similar benefits without the drawbacks if you do it right.
