Valter Longo: Nutrition, Fasting mimicking diets, Regeneration and Longevity

Lecture by Dr Valter Longo from University of Southern California at the Molecular Frontiers Symposium "Healthy Ageing" at Chalmers University of Technology in Aug 2016. Check our KZbin channel for more exciting science videos! For more information, visit www.molecularfrontiers.org

I'm on day five of the diet. The first three days were hard, but I feel great now and I know it will change my eating habits moving forward.

[@lucillefemine2339]

I'm on day 4 of the fast mimicking diet and I can't believe hw miraculous it's been. Day one and two were rough but I came through it. Before this diet, I thought I was dying from Candida but it's so much better and I feel well being for the first time in many months. I will keep going

[@bobschmob8233]

Did you have candida overgrowth diagnosed? Has is eliminated the candidiasis and repair your gut microbiome?

[@lucillefemine2339]

@@bobschmob8233 No. I 'm not following that anymore. Keep trying different things. Yes, was diagnosed. Also with parasites whichis much worse. Willl see chiro/nutritionist

Lucille Femine what were ur observations after following this diet ? Did it help with candida on long term ?

[@MoleCluesTV]

This video has been revised and uploaded in a new version. A spelling mistake has been corrected, and the title of the lecture has been changed from what was announced beforehand to the title Dr Longo actually used.

[@MrTraceuser]

the difference in Longo and the FB docs like Fung and others is that Longo actually does the studies and research himself rather than just read the books from years ago to find their info.

[@sonja4164]

Exactly

[@smilebot484]

Fung is not a scientist. He's giving a lot of pretty bad advice.

[@smilebot484]

@Blob Monster Fung is doing bro science.

[@FadGadget1]

Longo is more susceptible to believing his own spin whereas Fung and others are able to source data from multiple (reliable) sources.

[@shupuwka]

I coach people through the process of fasting of different lengths for over 30 years. They go with no fear, as coaching allows to decipher and sort out many historical memories about fasting. I love the fact , that this research takes place in my neighboring USC, where I previously worked

[@smilebot484]

So interesting how much high protein is associated with aging and decline. I have known about this for a while but this seems generally unknown by a lot of people.

[@magicf7076]

It’s not. Protein does not do any harm, scientists know. Walter is not a nutritionist. The problem is sugar and vegetable oils.

[@dinomiles7999]

Right at 8:00 mice get cancer at the age of 1yrs. to w yrs..and very rare humans hardly ever correct cancer at the age of 1 - 2 . .. Mr. Lingo as you know in mouse yrs. 2 equivalent of 60 yrs. In human beings. ... love your work .

I wish to have more motivated doctors like Mark Hyman,MD. Thank you doctor Hyman for your a great job for humanity!

@Fredo Corleone I agree with Mr Corleone's comments. When presented with simple solutions and clear evidence with significant correlated factors (the number of centenarians in each blue zone, lifestyle and diet), how is it possible the majority of comments below offer no critical thought or alternative data to support their opinions. In basic terms your opinion means shit without evidence!

[@yvonnehyatt8353]

How about doing some from birth?

[@raffaelecorrente1123]

I suppose they (longo, Sinclair etc) are missing something. sacropenia is one of the signs of again. Fasting increases sarcopenia. They suggest fasting as anti-aging.

[@sleepsmartsmashstress8705]

sacropenia kills

[@jameszcurtis]

The studies they did by doing fasting mimicking where you are still taking in low calories instead of water fasting coupled with physical activity, showed people did not lose muscle mass which is important.

[@raffaelecorrente1123]

@@jameszcurtis that are short term studies, while sarcopenia is a long term process, starting at 30/40 years and lasting for the entire life. The only way to fight it id increasing muscle mass.

[@thegeraldinekuss]

Fasting while on a LOW CARB DIET doesn't provoke Sarcopenia. If cavemen got sarcopenia after not eating a while, Humanity would have died out! They went hungry for long periods then went out hunting & gathering on empty stomachs. They had energy & muscles..that's why we are around nowadays stuffing ourselves as much as we can!

[@raffaelecorrente1123]

@@thegeraldinekuss this is one of the most moronic, non scientific, non sense statement on diet I've ever read.

[@jerrettfeatherston3517]

Is there a plan for those in 80s to 90s that is safer, as your comment implied old people may need a modified version of the FMD diet.

[@thenewneandersmedical4226]

Hi Jerrett, we have a research project where we collaborate with mature adults. The goal is to explore how to maintain optimal health, conserve the "optimal phenotype" throughout life. No payment or any commercial interest are involved. Check us at: medical-en.nneandersphysiologicalliteracy.com

A lot of mice data here. Why focus on autophagy, when the biggest predictors of longevity are muscle mass, grip strength, v02 max etc?

Have you told him all this yet or you may shake hands with him...

Trying to target underlying processes, not the outcomes of their (lack of) decline.

VOmax is genetic. There are many high VOmax runners from Africa who died either from a stroke or heart attack

[@beverlymaskall3253]

The idea of what is a 'good fat' has changed a lot recently. What is Valter Longo's idea? He doesn't mention seed oils, which many people now tell us is very very bad.

Biosphere….1800 cal a day? That’s about 200-300 more calories than I need in a day for my age, height, and gender…lol!

[@slightlygruff]

humans aren't mice

[@Joseph1NJ]

Exactly. They obviously know that, but that's where a lot of research starts, and disappointedly ends.

[@darcym1948]

He has recent studies on humans now - they unfortunately have to start with animal experiments.

[@miguelespejel2462]

Beautiful theories, inferences and mechanistic speculation. Zero empirical evidence unfortunately.

[@raoulluijten5972]

There were human trials amongst the studies mentioned using the FMD, not sure what you are getting at here.
