Reduced Protein Consumption Linked to Potential Anti-Aging Benefits and Metabolic Improvements

A comprehensive review of over 350 studies indicates that reduced protein intake could slow aging by enhancing metabolism and decreasing cellular damage. The research suggests many sedentary adults consume excess protein, potentially leading to negative health outcomes. Findings highlight the role of FGF21 hormone and specific amino acids, whose excessive intake may activate growth-promoting pathways linked to obesity and inflammation.
