A study from UT Health San Antonio suggests that long-term ketogenic diets may cause cell aging in organs like the heart and kidneys, but taking intermittent breaks from the diet can prevent these negative effects. Researchers recommend planned breaks to enhance the benefits of a ketogenic diet and avoid potential long-term consequences.

A new study has found that damage to cell membranes can lead to cellular senescence, a state in which cells stop dividing and start producing various secretory proteins that can have both beneficial and detrimental effects on the body. The extent of the damage and subsequent calcium ion influx determine the fate of the cell, with moderate damage leading to cellular senescence. This discovery may contribute to developing strategies for healthy longevity in the future.
