The secret of healthy aging could be a proper.
According to new research with fruit flies, a diet with adequate protein mixture could be one of the keys to enjoying a healthy and long life.
Scientists have discovered that manipulating the amount of a unit of protein ingested by fruit flies can extend your life expectancy, without producing side effects in other physiological functions, such as fertility.
Although the effect has not yet been identified in mammals – for example, in mice – promises to shed light on the biological pathways involved in human aging. The hope is that, over time, may be possible to manipulate these pathways with drugs, in order to make people live longer.
