## Resource

New research from USC reveals a modified Mediterranean diet low in protein but rich in methionine could extend mouse lifespans, reduce fat, and combat frailty—even while eating more. Human data shows plant-based eaters with lower animal protein are less likely to be obese or diabetic. The key? It’s not about calorie restriction, but the type of protein and amino acid balance. Too little methionine causes frailty; too much negates benefits. Human trials are next—hinting at a future of precision nutrition to boost healthspan.
