The Science of Aging
Aging researchers like Dr. David Sinclair, Dr. Valter Longo, and Bryan Johnson have identified key biological pathways that influence how we age. Diet directly affects these pathways:
- • mTOR pathway — protein/nutrient sensing, reduced by fasting
- • Sirtuins — longevity genes, activated by caloric restriction
- • Autophagy — cellular cleanup, triggered by fasting
- • Inflammation — chronic inflammation accelerates aging
