  • Summary

  • It’s well-known that the populations who follow a Mediterranean Diet are among the healthiest and longest-living on the planet. But while the focus is obviously on the variety of delicious foods, what is often missed is the role of fasting.

    Either for religious reasons or for the simple lack of abundance, inhabitants of Italy, Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean countries have experienced extended periods of calorically restricted diets. And they were healthier because of it.

    These circumstances not only extended their lifespan, but also their “healthspan,” allowing them to be active and able to enjoy life well into their 90s and past 100 years-old.

    In recent decades, scientists have strove to understand the mechanisms of this phenomenon. To help us gain a layperson's understanding of how all this works, I have spoken with Renee, who is a medical science liaison at L-Nutra, the parent company of ProLon, developers of the Fasting Mimicking Diet. We take a deep dive into the metabolic pathways that, some say, leads to the elusive Fountain of Youth.
