Dr. Valter Longo

Dr. Valter Longo is a scientist known for his research on aging and health. He studies how our diet and fasting can influence lifespan, disease prevention, and cell repair. His work suggests that periodic fasting or plant-based diets may promote longevity and protect against illnesses like cancer and heart disease. He has developed specific fasting-mimicking protocols that aim to provide health benefits similar to fasting while still allowing for some food intake. His research highlights the potential of dietary strategies to improve overall health and extend healthy lifespan.
