Results showed that a fasting-mimicking diet conducted once or twice increased the health and longevity of rats that consumed a normal diet or a Western-style diet. [사진=게티이미지뱅크]Let’s lie to our bodies. It has been shown that the fasting-mimicking diet (FMD), which is a method of making people recognize that they are fasting even though they are not fasting, can be used periodically to reduce body age. This means that biological age can be lowered by reducing signs of aging in the immune system, insulin resistance, and liver fat.
The fasting mimicking diet is a diet designed by Dr. Walter Longo at the University of Southern California in the United States. It is a vegetarian-based diet organized in 5-day increments, and is a method of consuming △low calories, △low protein, △low carbohydrates, and △high unsaturated fat to make the body recognize that it is fasting.
According to the results of Dr. Longo’s past research, when a fasting-mimicking diet is performed periodically, it promotes stem cell regeneration, reduces the side effects of chemotherapy, reduces the signs of dementia in rats, and reduces the risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and other age-related diseases. It has been shown to have various beneficial effects, including lowering factors.
In addition, the results showed that a fasting-mimicking diet conducted once or twice increased the healthy lifespan and lifespan of rats that consumed a normal diet or a Western-style diet. This study also revealed the effects of the fasting-mimicking diet on human aging, biological age, and immune system aging.
Fasting-mimicking diet, lowers disease risk and rejuvenates cells
Researchers at the University of Southern California’s Leonard Davis School of Gerontology analyzed the effects of a fasting-mimicking diet in two clinical trial groups of men and women aged 18 to 70. People randomly assigned to the fasting-mimicking diet followed the diet for 5 days and then followed a regular diet for 25 days for 3 to 4 months. During the diet, I consumed vegetarian soup, energy bars, energy drinks, snacks, and tea over 5 days and took supplements high in minerals, vitamins, and essential fatty acids. On the other hand, the control group consumed a normal diet or a Mediterranean diet.
Analysis of participants’ blood samples showed that patients in the fasting-mimicking diet group had fewer risk factors for diabetes, including insulin resistance and lower levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c, which measures the average blood sugar level over two to three months). Magnetic resonance imaging results also confirmed that fat in the liver and abdominal fat decreased, reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome. Additionally, indicators indicating the degree of immune system aging were also better. As a result, statistical analysis of the results of both clinical studies showed that the fasting-mimicking diet group had an average of 2.5 years younger biological age.
“This study supports the potential of the fasting-mimicking diet as a short-term dietary intervention that can help reduce disease risk and improve health without extensive lifestyle changes,” said Dr. Longo.
The results of this study were published in the international academic journal Nature Communications under the title ‘Fasting-mimicking diet causes hepatic and blood markers changes indicating reduced biological age and disease risk’.
