Scientists may have found a way to extend lifespan without strict dieting; here’s what the research shows

Research indicates dietary restriction extends lifespan, prompting exploration of alternatives like rapamycin and metformin. A recent study comparing these interventions revealed rapamycin's life-extending effects rivaled calorie restriction, while metformin showed inconsistent benefits. Further human clinical trials are underway to explore the potential of these drugs in promoting healthy aging and longevity.
