Model: C57BL/6J mice 
Dosage: Eating only within an 8-hour window and fasting for 16 hours (~20% caloric deficit may be required)

Restricting food intake for 16 hours a day improves the health of female mice and moderately prolongs the life of male mice.

How to Boost Mitochondrial Tissue Density and Quality for Longevity

Lifestyle hacks contrived to promote the tissue density and quality of mitochondria (the cell’s powerhouses) can aid in the efficient generation of cellular energy and reduce inflammation, thereby promoting longevity.

Exercise, nutritional support, and lifestyle hacks like cold exposure can all help mitigate mitochondrial dysfunction, a key hallmark of aging.

A 167-study analysis reveals that rapamycin prolongs lifespan as effectively as dietary restriction: reducing food intake without entering a state of malnourishment.

German researchers discover rare genetic mutations related to the mTOR pathway in the DNA of long-lived individuals.
