An interview with top longevity experts reveals their secrets to a long and healthy life, including the importance of time-restricted eating and the benefits of a fasting-mimicking diet.
This year, I got in touch with several longevity experts to talk about living a long, healthy life — and to learn more about Valter Longo's approach. In my conversations with doctors and researchers who study how to live longer, almost all seemed to recommend or follow time-restricted eating — commonly known as intermittent fasting. Most tend to eat all of their meals within an eight-hour window, and fast for about 12 to 16 hours a day.
'I always skip, or very often skip, breakfast,' Maier said.'I really start eating at two o'clock , three o'clock. Sometimes my first meal is in the evening, and I'm fine.' Longo developed his own meal pattern called the fasting-mimicking diet. It involves eating a diet 'high in unsaturated fats and low in overall calories, protein and carbohydrates,' according to Longo. The diet also involves 12 hours of fasting daily, and was associated with a lower risk of developing diseases like diabetes, cancer and heart conditions in mice, according to a study. As serious as longevity experts are about their health, they still give themselves a bit of grace. That sometimes means enjoying things that aren't exactly the healthiest. They don't plan on changing those behaviors.Similarly, Longo has a 'big dinner, fairly late at night, and that's probably not ideal, but makes my life much easier to have no lunch,' he said. It would 'probably be better to have a big lunch and a smaller dinner. that's the way my life is set up.', who helped coin the term 'blue zones,' enjoys going out for dinner with his friends and acknowledges that it likely doesn't align with a longevity diet
