Summary
Researchers are working on a medicine that would produce the same health benefits as fasting without requiring patients to fast for extended periods of time, which could potentially benefit older people, sick people, and people in the hospital. Fasting for five days or more could result in muscle mass loss, and fasting beyond that point can cause harm to the body according to studies.
