"Reversing Biological Age: The Impact of a Fasting-Like Diet"
TL;DR
New research from USC indicates that periodic adherence to a fasting-mimicking diet can reduce biological age in humans by rejuvenating the immune system, decreasing insulin resistance, and lowering liver fat levels. The five-day diet, high in unsaturated fats and low in overall calories, protein, and carbohydrates, mimics the effects of fasting while providing necessary nutrients. Clinical trials showed reduced disease risk factors and a more youthful immune system in participants, with an average biological age reduction of 2.5 years. The study suggests that the fasting-mimicking diet could be a feasible dietary intervention to improve health without extensive lifestyle changes.
