USC Study discloses diet that reverses aging in humans
A groundbreaking study from the University of Southern California (USC) has revealed significant health benefits of a diet mimicking fasting, showing potential in reducing insulin resistance, cutting down liver fat, boosting the immune system, and curbing biological aging. Conducted by the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, this research underscores the advantages of periodic adherence to a fasting-mimicking diet (FMD).
Published in Nature Communications, the study highlights the FMD's role in lessening aging indicators within the immune system, alongside diminishing insulin resistance and liver fat levels, thereby contributing to a younger biological age in clinical trial participants.
The FMD, formulated by img 15 Valter Longo of the USC Leonard Davis School, is a plant-based diet lasting image 16 five days, rich in unsaturated fats and low in calories, proteins, and carbohydrates, aiming to emulate the benefits of water-only fasting while still providing essential nutrients. This makes the diet more feasible for individuals to maintain.
