🥩 Less Protein, Longer Life? The Longevity Puzzle

🥩 Can eating less protein promote healthier aging? This comprehensive review examines how protein restriction—and specifically limiting methionine, isoleucine, and valine—modulates key longevity pathways including FGF21, GCN2, and mTOR. Experimental evidence consistently demonstrates improvements in metabolic health, mitochondrial function, senescence, and lifespan, while early human studies suggest favorable metabolic effects. Although long-term clinical outcome data are still needed, the review challenges conventional assumptions that “more protein is always better.” A fascinating update for clinicians and researchers interested in nutrition, aging, and precision medicine. 🎙️ #Longevity #Nutrition #HealthyAging #MedicalResearch
