I think it's more about not having excess calories.

As for the science, my understanding is...excess calories = excess glucose = insulin-response, which is associated with inflammation.

A good book I read on it recently is, The Intermittent Fasting Revolution by Mark P. Mattson https://www.amazon.co.uk/Intermittent-Fasting-Revolution-Opt...
