A new study review suggests that reducing protein intake, rather than cutting calories, may improve metabolic health and longevity for sedentary adults. Lower protein consumption was linked to benefits like reduced cellular damage and improved metabolism, driven by a hormone called FGF21. The review highlights three amino acids (methionine, isoleucine, valine) that may contribute to aging-related pathways when consumed in excess by inactive individuals.

Research in rodents suggests that restricting protein intake may slow aging and extend lifespan by improving metabolic health and reducing senescent cells, though human studies remain inconclusive. Experts debate whether high-protein diets are beneficial or harmful, with some cautioning that excess protein could negatively impact sedentary individuals.
