A very small and short-term study found that aerobic exercise during a severe calorie deficit preserved muscle function, increasing mitochondrial protein synthesis in muscle tissue. Myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic protein synthesis was unchanged. Muscle collagen decreased, producing a more 'youthful' muscle composition.

Why eating less slows ageing: this molecule is key

A naturally occurring compound involved in digestion lengthens lifespan in flies and makes old mice more youthful.

Medical supervision is crucial to monitor side effects, ensure nutritional needs are met, and manage any pre-existing health conditions in conjunction with the diet plan.
