Cycles of a fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) can effectively reduce signs of immune system aging, insulin resistance, and liver fat, thereby decreasing biological age in humans.
The FMD is a five-day plan high in unsaturated fats but low in calories, proteins, and carbohydrates, designed to emulate the effects of water-only fasting while providing essential nutrients. This intervention, which doesn’t require chronic lifestyle changes, has shown in clinical trials to rejuvenate metabolic and immune functions, lowering the risk factors for various age-related diseases and reducing participants’ biological age by an average of 2.5 years.
