When it comes to diet things can get complicated. Especially in the context of whether a diet may have anti-aging potential. Diet includes not only composition, but abundance and timing. And if you think about it, even a specific diet can have much variation in each of these variables depending on your lifestyle and where the food was sourced. So, in this video, with the help of a interesting recent review article you should totally check out if you can, I will explain the different diets including caloric restriction, intermittent fasting- (IF), fasting-mimicking diets (FMD), ketogenic diets, time-restricted feeding (TRF), protein restriction and restriction of specific amino acids and see what are the most and least promising as an anti-aging diet, at least based on current information. What is it about these diets that have led to them being described as “anti-aging”, whats the evidence and what are the remaining questions and probably what you’re keen to hear, what is the most promising anti-aging diet. And as well, I will include some common misconceptions about diets so you’ll want to hang around until then.
