But does it make sense to talk about a \u201c<strong>longevity diet<\/strong>\u201c? It is, of course, a \u201c layman\u2019s term\u201d, but it is certainly possible to take a\u00a0<strong>scientific approach<\/strong>\u00a0that considers the effects on the body and health of our\u00a0<strong>caloric intake<\/strong>, the\u00a0<strong>quality<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>composition<\/strong>\u00a0of the food we ingest, and also the\u00a0<strong>ways<\/strong>\u00a0in which this occurs: for example, the\u00a0<strong>frequency<\/strong>\u00a0with which we eat and the\u00a0<strong>intervals<\/strong>\u00a0of\u00a0<strong>fasting<\/strong>.Reviewing knowledge on the subject is an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cell.com\/cell\/fulltext\/S0092-8674(22)00398-1?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS0092867422003981%3Fshowall%3Dtrue\">article<\/a>\u00a0published in Cell by\u00a0<strong>Valter<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Longo<\/strong>, professor of Biogerontology and director of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, and Rozalyn Anderson of the University of Wisconsin. The two scientists reviewed hundreds of studies on nutrition, disease and longevity and combined them with their own studies on nutrients and aging. The analysis included popular diets such as\u00a0<strong>total calorie restriction<\/strong>, the high-fat, low-carb\u00a0<strong>ketogenic diet<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>vegetarian<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>vegan<\/strong>\u00a0diets, and the\u00a0<strong>Mediterranean<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>diet<\/strong>.\u201cWe explored the link between\u00a0<strong>nutrients<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>fasting<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>genes<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>longevity<\/strong>\u00a0in short-lived species and linked them to clinical and epidemiological studies in nonhuman and human primates, including centenarians,\u201d Longo explains. \u201cBy taking a multi-system approach based on more than a century of research, we can begin to define a\u00a0<strong>diet for longevity<\/strong>\u00a0that will provide a sound basis for nutritional recommendations and future research.\u201dThe review also considered different forms of\u00a0<strong>fasting<\/strong>, including the so-called\u00a0<strong>mimic-fasting diet<\/strong>\u00a0(a short-term diet that stimulates a body response similar to fasting),\u00a0<strong>intermittent<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>fasting<\/strong>\u00a0(which involves fasting for a certain number of hours each day) and\u00a0<strong>periodic<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>fasting<\/strong>\u00a0(periods of two or more days of fasting during the month).In addition to examining lifespan data from epidemiological studies, Longo and Anderson linked these studies to specific dietary factors that regulate certain epigenetic mechanisms shared by animal species (including humans) that, in turn, influence markers of disease risk, such as levels of\u00a0<strong>insulin<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>C-reactive<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>protein<\/strong>, growth factors and\u00a0<strong>cholesterol<\/strong>.<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"title_text-block_623c5e4dc27b2\" class=\"w-row title_text\" data-ix=\"slidein\">\n<div class=\"col w-col w-col-4 w-col-stack\">\n<h3 class=\"article-title\">What to eat?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"w-col w-col-8 w-col-stack\">\n<article class=\"content-article\">The review of these studies shows that, from a strictly nutritional point of view, an optimal diet should include a moderate to high intake of\u00a0<strong>carbohydrates<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>from<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>unrefined<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>sources<\/strong>\u00a0(such as\u00a0<strong>grains<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0<strong>whole-grain<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>flours<\/strong>), a\u00a0<strong>low<\/strong>\u00a0but sufficient\u00a0<strong>protein<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>intake<\/strong>\u00a0and from\u00a0<strong>mainly<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>plant<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>sources<\/strong>\u00a0(<strong>legumes<\/strong>\u00a0and their derivatives, mostly), and enough\u00a0<strong>fats of plant origin<\/strong>\u00a0(<strong>olive oil<\/strong>, nuts and oilseeds) to provide about 30 percent of energy needs.

The diet should be adapted to individual people according to gender, age, health status and genetics. As age increases, for example, one should increase the amount of protein to counteract frailty and the physiological loss of lean body mass, that is, muscle.It is important to always consult a nutrition specialist to customize a plan that focuses on small changes that can be easily adopted throughout life, rather than trying to implement big changes, which often yield only temporary results.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The longevity diet is not a dietary restriction aimed only at weight loss, but a lifestyle focused on slowing down aging. \u2013 Valter Longo<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"title_text-block_623d9ea092112\" class=\"w-row title_text\" data-ix=\"slidein\">\n<div class=\"col w-col w-col-4 w-col-stack\">\n<h3 class=\"article-title\">Is the longevity diet also useful for losing weight?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"w-col w-col-8 w-col-stack\">\n<article class=\"content-article\">Indeed, we often associate the concept of diet with that of weight loss, but the longevity diet, intermittent fasting and the mimic-fasting diet are not aimed at weight loss. This is also shown by a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nejm.org\/doi\/full\/10.1056\/NEJMoa2114833\">study<\/a>\u00a0published in the New England Journal of Medicine, which followed 139 obese patients for a period of 12 months, prescribing them a regimen of calorie restriction and, in some cases, intermittent fasting as well. The results showed that there was no difference between those who followed the diet with or without intermittent fasting in terms of weight, body composition or metabolic risk of developing cardiovascular and obesity-related diseases.Longo will continue his research on the longevity diet: the next one will involve about 500 people and will take place in southern Italy. This is because there are similarities, but also differences, between the nutritional advice that has emerged from the studies conducted so far and the Mediterranean diet followed in so-called \u201cblue zones,\u201d those that see a high percentage of centenarians, such as Sardinia, Italy, Okinawa, Japan, and Loma Linda, California. Typical diets in these places are often based on vegetables and fish and are relatively low in protein. Their study, together with all prior knowledge, will be the basis for understanding how the concept of longevity diets should evolve.<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many studies that are trying to define the optimal eating style to increase the number of years lived healthy.
