Fasting Mimicking Diets, Regeneration, and Age-Related Diseases
Presented by: Valter Longo, PhD
Decades of genetic and nutrition studies by my laboratory and others have resulted in the identification and understanding of strategies to activate high protection, repair and regeneration systems able to prevent but also treat diseases. We now know that certain genetic mutations are effective in greatly reducing cancer and diabetes rates in mice and humans. Chronic dietary restriction is also able to prevent major diseases in monkeys and has strong effects on disease risk factors in humans, but it also has detrimental effects on lean body mass, and potentially on immunity and wound healing.
