"Revolutionary Fasting-Mimicking Diet Reverses Biological Age, Study Finds"

A new study led by the University of South Carolina suggests that cycles of a fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) can significantly lower risk factors for disease and reduce biological age in humans. The FMD, developed by Prof Valter Longo, involves a five-day diet high in unsaturated fats and low in overall calories, protein, and carbohydrates, and has shown promising results in reducing diabetes risk factors, decreasing abdominal and liver fat, and rejuvenating the immune system. Participants in the study reduced their biological age by an average of 2.5 years, indicating improved cellular and tissue function, leading to potential recommendations for FMD cycles to enhance health and vitality in the general population.
