"Reversing Aging: The Power of Fasting-Mimicking Diets"

A study has shown that following a fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) for 5 days a month could reduce biological age by 2.5 years after three monthly cycles, without changing lifestyle. The diet, high in unsaturated fats and low in protein and carbohydrates, was found to lower insulin resistance, liver fat, and inflammation markers. However, it is not suitable for pregnant individuals or older adults. The next step is to conduct more clinical trials to test the diet's potential in preventing and treating diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's.
