A new study has found that the immune remodeling associated with fasting can be recapitulated by activating a subset of neurons in the hypothalamus. The findings could be important in the context of fasting mimicking, metabolic disorders, and cancer [1]. Fasting and the immune system Decades after the modern field of geroscience was born, caloric...

Researchers have discovered that intermittent fasting increases myelin in aged mice, leading to better neural function and coordination. Crucial proteins and a well-known intervention Normally, neuronal axons are coated in a protein sheath made of myelin, which is necessary for their proper function [1]. Myelination is most known to be impeded by multiple sclerosis, but...

Research published in Aging Cell has revealed that a nematode species commonly used for aging research lives much longer on an alternate-day fasting regimen, but only when it is administered in middle age and only when the worms are consuming an animal-based protein source. Deciding what to restrict and when Dietary restriction practices have been...

A study published in Human Nutrition & Metabolism found that prolonged intermittent fasting causes the expression of genes involved in autophagy, the inflammasome, and senescence to change [1]. Fasting your way to better health and longevity? Previous research has linked fasting to delaying the onset of age-related diseases and longevity along with positive outcomes in...

In Cell Reports Medicine, researchers have published a study demonstrating that, while it has no impact on many aspects of intestinal function, time-restricted eating (TRE) reduces markers of blood glucose. A matter of when rather than what People who conduct TRE, choosing to consume food only at certain times of the day, often report improvements...

According to a new populational study, timing meals to natural circadian rhythms and maintaining a long nightly fast is positively associated with cardiovascular health, especially in women [1]. The natural rhythms Diet is one of the most powerful modulators of health and longevity. The amount, type, and timing of meals are all important. Like most...
