Fasting-Mimicking Diet Shown to Reverse Biological Age by 2.5 Years

A recent study reveals that adhering to a fasting-mimicking diet for five days a month can significantly reduce biological age and improve health markers.

The University of Southern California developed a fasting-mimicking diet that requires only five days of adherence per month, reversing biological age by an average of 2.5 years.
Participants in the study showed improvements in immune system function, reduced signs of aging, and decreased risk factors for several diseases.
The diet is high in unsaturated fats and low in calories, protein, and carbohydrates, designed to mimic the effects of a water-only fast while providing necessary nutrients.
Clinical trials demonstrated benefits such as lower diabetes risk factors, reduced liver fat, and a more youthful immune system.
The fasting-mimicking diet offers a short-term, periodic dietary intervention that could help individuals lessen disease risk and improve overall health without extensive lifestyle changes.
