Fasting-mimicking diet for aging and health in adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special low-calorie diet that mimics fasting can help reduce risk factors for aging and age-related diseases. It is for healthy adults aged 30 to 65 who are willing to follow this diet for several days each month.
