The Times (UK) highlighted research by Valter Longo of the USC Leonard Davis School on the health benefits of intermittent fasting. According to Longo’s research, implementing a “fasting-mimicking” diet on a regular basis can possibly reverse the effects of aging, slow the development of cancerous cells and reverse the effects of diabetes on the pancreas.
El Pais (Spain) reported on research by Valter Longo of the USC Leonard Davis School and colleagues on the health benefits of fasting-mimicking diets.
The Huffington Post cited comments by Caleb Finch of the USC Leonard Davis School on the connection between air pollution exposure and dementia symptoms.
Voice of America reported on research by Valter Longo of the USC Leonard Davis School that found a “fasting-mimicking diet” may reverse the effects of diabetes in the pancreas.
The Conversation published an op-ed by Caleb Finch of the USC Leonard Davis School and Jiu-Chiuan Chen of Keck Medicine of USC on how certain molecules of air pollution, known as PM2.5, can increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. According to Finch and Chen, the Clean Air Act has significantly reduced the levels of pollution exposure for Americans. “We believe any measures that undermine EPA’s operation or loosen clear air regulations will have unintended consequences,” they wrote. Futurism also noted the research by Finch, Chen and colleagues.
Financial Times featured a study by Min Wei and Valter Longo of the USC Leonard Davis School and colleagues that found anti-aging benefits by following a “fasting-mimicking diet” at regular intervals. The study found greater benefits for overweight or obese individuals if they repeated the diet more often, under observation by a dietitian or doctor. Men’s Health highlighted similar research on fasting that found it may reverse the effects of diabetes in the pancreas.
