"Fasting-Mimicking Diet: Reversing Biological Age and Lowering Disease Risk"
TL;DR
A recent study published in the journal Nature Communications found that a five-day fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) high in unsaturated fats and low in overall calories, protein, and carbohydrates can lower a person’s biological age by an average of 2.5 years. The diet, which mimics the effects of a water-only fast while still providing necessary nutrients, was found to lower diabetes risk factors, reduce liver fat, slow immune system aging, and decrease the risks of age-related illnesses. The study suggests that the FMD has the potential to help people improve their health without extensive lifestyle changes.
