... that The Longevity Diet is a 2018 book by Italian biogerontologist Valter Longo which suggests that lifespan and healthspan may be increased through fasting and diet? Source: ...restricting calories to between 800 and 1,100 per day. When you eat this way, your body gets tricked into believing it’s fasting, Longo says. This is also called a fasting-mimicking diet. and The Longevity Diet proposes that the answer to not only a longer lifespan but also a longer “healthspan” comes down primarily to what, how much, how often and when we eat.
