A highly cited researcher from the University of California recently elucidated the correlation between compassion, the vagus nerve, and heart rate variability. The researcher also cited a study published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, which demonstrates that “restricting all eating an eight-hour period or a shorter period of time during the day (a form of so-called intermittent fasting) can increase heart rate variability" and thereby increase compassion.
Considering the aforementioned context, it would be pertinent to revisit the statement regarding fasting mentioned in an article published by The Economist titled "How millionaires devoured the world" at the conclusion of the post. https://19-pacheco-torgal-19.blogspot.com/2022/02/como-os-milionarios-devoraram-o-mundo.html
