Ep. 70 - La Dieta della Longevità con Prof. Valter Longo | Pianeta B12

🎙️🌍 Welcome to the seventieth episode of Pianeta B12, the podcast that challenges beliefs about health, food, and spirituality! 🚀 ✨ In this episode, we tackle one of the most discussed topics of all time: fasting. Our guide is Professor Valter Longo, world-renowned biologist and gerontologist, creator of the Fasting Mimicking Diet, who reveals what science really says about this ancient practice. 🔬 ✨ Want to support our work?

A powerful dialogue between research, spirituality, and human curiosity. 🌿 🧬 Fasting Diet The fasting diet is a dietary regimen based on partial or total abstention from food for specified periods of time, with the goal of promoting cellular regeneration, improving metabolism, and promoting longevity. There are different forms of fasting, including intermittent fasting, periodic fasting, and prolonged fasting, each with specific protocols and potential benefits documented by scientific studies. 🧪 Fasting Mimicking Diet The Fasting Mimicking Diet, developed by Professor Valter Longo, is a nutritional protocol that mimics the effects of total fasting while allowing for controlled food intake in a controlled quantity and composition. This approach reduces caloric intake for a limited period (generally five days), stimulating cellular regeneration and reducing markers of aging, inflammation, and the risk of chronic disease. 🌬️ Breatharianism Breatherianism is a controversial spiritual practice that allows one to live without food or water, drawing life energy from prana or sunlight. Proponents claim that the human body can be nourished by cosmic energy, while the scientific community considers this practice to be biologically unfounded and potentially dangerous to health. 📢 Are you a brand interested in collaborating or would like more information? 📩 Write to us at [email protected]
