"Unlocking Longevity: The Science Behind Fasting-Mimicking Diets"

A new study suggests that a fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) can lead to a range of health benefits, including reduced risk of disease and slower cell aging. Research involving 144 volunteers showed that those on the FMD experienced reduced insulin resistance, liver fat, and immune system aging, resulting in a lower biological age and lower disease risk. The diet, high in unsaturated fats and low in calories, protein, and carbohydrates, appeared to make participants biologically younger without associated weight loss. The researchers hope to see the FMD promoted as part of a healthier lifestyle, but emphasize the importance of consulting a healthcare professional before making significant dietary changes.
