Could a low-calorie keto diet help reverse biological aging?

A recent study from Spain suggests that a very low-calorie ketogenic diet may help reverse biological aging, particularly in individuals with obesity. The research, which measured epigenetic aging, found that participants on a low-calorie keto diet experienced a deceleration in biological aging by more than six years after 180 days. This is significant, as obesity typically accelerates biological aging and increases the risk of chronic diseases. The study’s findings indicate that nutritional ketosis, the metabolic state achieved on the keto diet, may be responsible for the reduction in biological age, likely due to improved metabolic markers like insulin and glucose levels. However, experts caution that more research is needed to confirm these results, and concerns about the safety and sustainability of such a restrictive diet remain.

Healthy Fact of the Day: Napping can improve alertness, enhance memory, and boost mood.
