Jeff Tucker explaining "Hollow Rocks" and the "Hollow Position" in relation to the hand stand (again):

Article:
Cutting calories could limit muscle wasting in later years
. . .The researchers found increasing amounts of iron in the muscle cells of aging rats fed a typical unrestricted diet. The older the rats got, the more iron accumulated in the mitochondria and the more damage was done to its RNA and DNA. Rats of the same ages that were kept on a calorie-restricted diet — about 60 percent of the food typically ingested — seemed to maintain more normal iron levels in mitochondria, the researchers reported. . .. . .The problem occurs when metals such as iron accumulate in the mitochondria and react with oxygen. Iron can change the chemical structure of oxygen, triggering its metamorphosis into a free radical, an unstable atom that can upset the delicate balance inside the mitochondria. . .
(Now I hope they do an iron test on aging rats using the Intermittent Fasting protocol and compare them to these results. -jj)
