Dr. Longo’s Prolon Diet

I posted recently about my experience with the ProLon diet via Dr. Valter Longo, a leading figure in the science of longevity, and I was pleased to see his work getting a spotlight this week in The Economist. The article "Can Fasting Help You Live to 100?" delves into Dr. Longo's pioneering research on the life-extending potential of fasting and the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD).

The article offers a deep-dive into Dr. Longo’s career and the science of fasting to promote longevity. It also offers a healthy dose of skepticism about the studies themselves – which I believe is always necessary, as we should never blindly accept spoon-fed facts when evaluating the best options for our health. We are our #1 advocates when it comes to managing our proactive wellness, and even when adopting protocols that are tried and tested, need to listen to our inner intuition and our bodies to see what works for us.

While the science and studies continue to evolve, the implications of Dr. Longo's research are profound for anyone interested in health optimization and longevity. It underscores the potential of dietary interventions to significantly impact our healthspan, the period of life spent in good health.

Having participated in fasting protocols myself, I've experienced first-hand the rejuvenating effects Dr. Longo describes. It’s not just about living longer; it’s about living better.

For those intrigued by the possibility of extending their healthspan through scientifically backed methods, I recommend reading the full article in The Economist and exploring Dr. Longo's work further.
