Can Lower Protein Intake Extend Human Lifespan? New Review

Scientists looked at many studies to see if eating less protein could help people live longer.

They found that how much protein you need depends on how active you are and how old you are.

If you are very inactive, a little less protein might be good.

But if you are older, an athlete, or do a lot of strength training, you need more protein to keep muscles strong.

In animals, eating less protein often makes them live longer, but in humans the evidence is still growing.

Human studies show better blood sugar control, less inflammation, and healthier metabolism, but they haven’t yet shown that it actually makes people live longer.
