"Study Shows Fasting-Mimicking Diet Reverses Biological Age by 2.5 Years"

A study found that following a diet that mimics fasting for five days a month lowered participants' biological age by 2 ½ years on average, resulting in less abdominal fat and healthier immune cells. The fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) involves consuming low-calorie, high unsaturated fat, and low protein and carbohydrate foods for five days, followed by a regular diet for the rest of the month. While the study showed promising results, experts caution that fasting may not be suitable for everyone and that more research is needed to understand its broader benefits and potential drawbacks.
