Methionine Restriction
Does methionine restriction extend lifespan?
Unclear yet. Restricting the amino acid methionine has been shown to extend lifespan in animal studies.
Explanation
Methionine, abundant in red meat and eggs, drives growth pathways that accelerate aging. In animal models, restricting methionine increases lifespan. Plant-based diets naturally lower methionine intake.
Action Tip
Watch for emerging research and limit methionine-rich animal proteins.
