I want him to do what his ancestors did. 70 00:04:16,381 --> 00:04:17,966 I want him to hunt for his next meal. 71 00:04:19,259 --> 00:04:23,221 But not on land. Instead, in the ocean. 72 00:04:29,769 --> 00:04:32,855 So, the plan is, that after four days without food... 73 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,360 we're gonna head for the Great Barrier Reef. 74 00:04:43,074 --> 00:04:44,993 I'm gonna be armed with a lungful of air... 75 00:04:51,874 --> 00:04:53,001 and a speargun... 76 00:04:54,085 --> 00:04:56,838 I'm gonna try and dive 30 feet to the ocean floor... 77 00:04:58,423 --> 00:04:59,424 in search of a fish. 78 00:05:01,718 --> 00:05:02,958 So, there's no pressure at all. 79 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:11,644 Thanks a lot, Pete. 80 00:05:21,654 --> 00:05:22,905 This is day one of the fast. 81 00:05:24,324 --> 00:05:27,744 I had a good sleep, I had probably seven... seven hours. 82 00:05:28,161 --> 00:05:29,245 I did dream about fasting, 83 00:05:29,329 --> 00:05:31,497 which was weird 'cause I wasn't in a fasted state. 84 00:05:31,956 --> 00:05:34,393 Fed the kids bacon and eggs this morning, that was a little tempting, 85 00:05:34,417 --> 00:05:39,088 but it's early days and I don't feel a huge threat 86 00:05:39,255 --> 00:05:42,050 at this point of breaking my four-day fast. 87 00:05:42,592 --> 00:05:44,653 I'm gonna get rid of the dog though, just in case he does... 88 00:05:44,677 --> 00:05:46,596 ...eat it. 89 00:05:46,679 --> 00:05:49,359 The dog will start to look like a roast chicken or something, right? 90 00:05:50,266 --> 00:05:53,728 Yeah, yeah. No, we wouldn't eat her, unless we really had to. 91 00:05:54,437 --> 00:05:57,982 At first, Chris will feel fine. He'll be working off the energy 92 00:05:58,066 --> 00:06:03,654 from his last meal. But once that's gone, he's gonna start to feel a lot worse. 93 00:06:04,197 --> 00:06:05,990 But I'm gonna want him to stick with this, 94 00:06:06,491 --> 00:06:10,119 because, of all the things that we can do to impact Chris's longevity, 95 00:06:10,536 --> 00:06:13,664 periodic fasting may be one of the more effective. 96 00:06:18,669 --> 00:06:20,797 My food contains glucose. 97 00:06:22,924 --> 00:06:26,094 The fuel that feeds the trillions of healthy cells in my body. 98 00:06:29,097 --> 00:06:31,682 But that glucose also feeds something else... 99 00:06:33,476 --> 00:06:34,644 zombie cells. 100 00:06:35,311 --> 00:06:39,440 Old, damaged cells that have lingered beyond their useful life. 101 00:06:40,024 --> 00:06:46,322 By spewing toxic sludge, these zombies infect other healthy cells, 102 00:06:46,906 --> 00:06:48,991 speeding up the aging process. 103 00:06:51,411 --> 00:06:53,871 Everything from hair loss and wrinkles 104 00:06:54,122 --> 00:06:57,708 to the onset of arthritis, cancer, and dementia. 105 00:06:59,794 --> 00:07:03,881 But what scientists have realized is that when we fast and cut off 106 00:07:03,965 --> 00:07:05,299 the supply of glucose, 107 00:07:05,842 --> 00:07:10,638 that zombie army is starved of energy which saps them of their power. 108 00:07:13,182 --> 00:07:15,143 It's long-term gain 109 00:07:15,226 --> 00:07:16,477 for short-term pain. 110 00:07:17,603 --> 00:07:20,940 For a food lover like me, lots of pain. 111 00:07:26,696 --> 00:07:27,697 Yeah, I'm hungry. 112 00:07:29,031 --> 00:07:30,992 We are not gonna make it. 113 00:07:31,617 --> 00:07:34,328 And by "we," I mean me and my best mates. 114 00:07:36,164 --> 00:07:40,251 If anybody can help me get through this, they can, so I'm very, very pleased 115 00:07:40,334 --> 00:07:42,837 and thankful that they've agreed to fast with me. 116 00:07:43,129 --> 00:07:45,256 We're buddies from high school... 117 00:07:45,506 --> 00:07:47,508 - Yeah. - ...primary school to Chris. 118 00:07:47,717 --> 00:07:49,302 - I'm Aaron.
