Mitochondria and Longevity

Go to the profile of Dr. Jason Fung

Fasting, Longevity and the Mitochondrial Connection

To understand a disease properly, you need to focus on finding the
right level. This is a ‘forest for the trees’ problem. Think about
Google Maps. If you zoom in too closely, you will miss what you
are looking for. If you look at a map of your neighborhood, you
can’t see where Greenland is. Similarly, if you zoom out too far,
the same problem exists. Suppose I am looking for my house, but
I look at a map of the world. Good idea. But where’s my city?
Where is my street? Where is my house? It’s impossible to tell,
because we are not looking at the right scale or level./.../
Where’s my house?
