An American study: Fasting may reduce the risk of biological aging in humans

 Fasting may reduce the risk of biological aging in humans.

A recent study - conducted by the Leonard Davis School of Gerontology at the University of Southern California - revealed that fasting may reduce the risk of biological aging in humans.

Fast Simulation Diet

This diet, known as the “fasting mimicking diet,” is designed to mimic the effects of fasting without requiring individuals to give up food completely.

Over five days, this diet focuses on high-calorie, low-calorie unsaturated fats, proteins and carbohydrates, and offers a simpler alternative to traditional fasting by providing essential nutrients.

Valter Longo, a professor at the University of Southern California, said that a diet-based approach without the need for continuous lifestyle changes could make people biologically younger, noting that this conclusion was drawn from observed changes in aging and risk factors, and a method developed by The research group to determine biological age, as the diet according to the study mimics fasting.

  Effect of diet

The current study investigated the effect of the diet on two groups of men and women between the ages of 18 and 70. The diet included vegetable soups, energy foods, drinks, snacks, tea, and a nutritional supplement rich in essential nutrients. The results were promising, as the participants showed risk factors for... Less diabetes, including decreased insulin resistance, and imaging tests also indicated a decrease in belly and liver fat.

Which is associated with a lower risk of metabolic syndrome. Another positive result was an improvement in the lymphoid to myeloid ratio, which indicates a rejuvenation of the immune system.

The study found that participants effectively reduced their biological age by an average of 2.5 years, indicating significant rejuvenation of metabolic and immune functions.

a summary:

The researchers believe these findings will encourage more healthcare professionals to recommend a diet that mimics fasting to patients looking to reduce disease risk or those simply interested in maintaining biological longevity.
