Modified Mediterranean Diet Extends Healthy Lifespan in Mice: Study
Mostly plant-based low-amino-acid diets have the most potent effects on healthspan but require moderate methionine intake to minimize frailty. Image credit: Fanti et al., doi: 10.1016/j.cmet.2026.05.015.

In a new animal study published in the journal Cell Metabolism, scientists found that adding a precise amount of a single amino acid to a low-protein, plant-based diet dramatically reduced frailty and fat in mice; a cross-sectional analysis of epidemiological data from over 200,000 men and women pointed to similar benefits.
