Research continues to uncover new details on how fasting may help extend life<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A new study published in the journal Nature Communications investigated how intermittent fasting can boost longevity in small worms often used in aging research<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Researchers from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas compared worms that were fed normally to those that underwent a 24-hour fast in early adulthood and were then re-fed for 24 hours, according to a press release.<\/p>\n

POPULAR INTERMITTENT FASTING DIETS MAY NOT DELIVER THE HEALTH BENEFITS MANY EXPECT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The scientists measured a variety of factors, including stored fat, gene activity<\/a> related to fat metabolism, and lifespan.<\/p>\n

The results showed that the life-boosting benefit did not depend on the fasting itself, but on the body\u2019s behavior after eating again.<\/p>\n

Study lead Peter Douglas, PhD, associate professor of molecular biology and a member of the Hamon Center for Regenerative Science and Medicine at UT Southwestern, suggested that these discoveries “shift the focus toward a neglected side of the metabolic coin \u2013 the re-feeding phase.”<\/p>\n

“Our data suggest that the health-promoting<\/a> effects of intermittent fasting are not merely a product of the fast itself, but are dependent on how the metabolic machinery recalibrates during the subsequent transition back to a fed state,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Our findings bridge a gap between lipid metabolism and aging research,” he added. “By targeting aging, the single greatest risk factor for human disease, we move beyond treating isolated conditions toward a preventive model of medicine that enhances quality of life for all individuals.”<\/p>\n

Lauri Wright, director of nutrition programs<\/a> at the University of South Florida’s College of Public Health, called this a “high-quality” study that adds an “important nuance to how we think about fasting and longevity.”<\/p>\n

The benefits of the re-feeding phase after fasting were “especially interesting,” Wright, who was not involved in the study, told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“The researchers showed that longevity was linked to the body\u2019s ability to turn off fat breakdown after fasting, allowing cells to restore energy balance,” she reiterated.<\/p>\n

“From a scientific standpoint, that\u2019s a meaningful shift, because it suggests fasting is not just about burning fat<\/a>, but about metabolic flexibility.”<\/p>\n

Fasting may support longevity through triggering metabolic switching, enhancing cellular repair and stress resistance, and improving markers like insulin sensitivity<\/a>, research shows.<\/p>\n

Although this study provides “important insight” on the power of re-feeding, Wright noted that the findings should be approached with caution, as the study was done in worms and cannot always be translated to humans.<\/p>\n

“Additionally, it explains how a process might work in a controlled lab condition rather than real-world eating behaviors<\/a>,” she added as a limitation. “Finally, the study is short-term and doesn’t give us the long-term translation on lifespan outcomes.”<\/p>\n

Wright cautioned that fasting is “not a magic solution for longevity, and how you eat overall matters more than when you eat.”<\/p>\n

“I advise, first and foremost, to focus on diet quality, including a variety of fruits and vegetables<\/a>, healthy fats and minimally processed foods,” she said.<\/p>\n

For those who are considering fasting, it\u2019s better to stick with a moderate plan \u2014 like a 12- to 14-hour overnight fast \u2014 rather than going to extremes, Wright said. After fasting, she recommends focusing on well-balanced meals.<\/p>\n

Several groups of people should be cautioned against fasting, according to Wright, including those with diabetes who are on insulin or hypoglycemic medications, people who are pregnant or breastfeeding<\/a>, anyone with a history of eating disorders, and older adults at risk of malnutrition.<\/p>\n

Anyone considering intermittent fasting should consult with a doctor before starting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
