Review Suggests Moderate Protein Reduction May Support Healthy Aging and Metabolism
A new scientific review analyzing over 350 studies suggests that moderately reducing protein intake may support healthier aging and improved metabolism. Led by researcher Dudley Lamming, the review found that lower protein consumption can activate biological pathways linked to longevity, such as increased levels of the hormone FGF21, which promotes fat burning. While protein remains essential for muscle maintenance, especially in active individuals, many sedentary adults may consume more protein than needed, potentially impacting health negatively.
