Dave Asprey has spent over $1 million in a bid to live as long as he possibly can and argues that skipping the morning meal is beneficial as the body gets used to "intermittent fasting".

Speaking on ITV's 'This Morning', Asprey said: "Skipping breakfast is really important. If you can learn the simple trick of intermittent fasting, what you find is that you have more energy that day, you start to lose weight and you start to feel better."

He also suggests that those looking to live for a long time should eat dinner early so the body has more time to repair itself.

Asprey explained: "The other thing you can do to live longer is have dinner early. If you have dinner just an hour earlier, it gives you one more hour when your body goes in and repairs itself. If you always have food in your stomach, your body's digesting the food instead of repairing yourself."
