"Unlocking the Secrets to Living Beyond 100: Insights from Top Longevity Researchers"

Valter Longo, a gerontology professor, aims to live to 120 and believes his fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) is key. FMD involves a short-term, low-calorie diet mimicking fasting for 15 days per year, with 12-hour fasting and feeding periods on non-FMD days. Research suggests FMD may reduce aging markers, but caution is advised. Longo also advocates a modified Mediterranean diet rich in vegetables, lean proteins, and varied fish, emphasizing the importance of avoiding ultra-processed foods, staying active, and getting enough sleep to live longer.
