A low-protein Mediterranean-style diet rich in plants and fish and supplemented with essential amino acids increased healthy lifespan and reduced frailty, body fat and cardiometabolic risk markers in animal models, while human data linked lower animal protein…
🧬 A low-protein, amino acid-supplemented diet inspired by the Mediterranean has been linked to increased healthy lifespan and reduced frailty in mice, according to a USC study published Tuesday in Cell Metabolism.
🥩 Human data analysis of over 200,000 people showed that diets with less animal protein were associated with less obesity and Type 2 diabetes, suggesting a plant-focused approach with fish and supplemented essential amino acids may offer significant health advantages.
🔬 Researchers found that a specific amino acid, methionine, played a crucial role: too little caused frailty, while too much negated the diet's benefits, highlighting the importance of amino acid composition over total protein quantity.
