Scientists have been studying the impact of fasting on the body’s metabolism and how it may influence aging.
In this exclusive segment, “Sunday Morning” correspondent Lee Cowan talks with three aging researchers – David Sinclair of Harvard Medical School, Dr. Nir Barzilai of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and Morgan Levine of the Yale Center for Research on Aging – about the stresses the body faces during fasting or caloric restriction, and how it may activate the body’s defenses against aging.
Most people know that maintaining healthy eating habits and regular exercise can help you live longer and healthier. Research shows that those who live longer often have a balanced diet and an active lifestyle.

- Emphasizing the importance of genetic research and mechanisms related to longevity.
- Mentioning some drugs and diets that may help slow down the aging process.
- Discussing the development of research and the demand for anti-aging therapies in the context of an aging population.
If we can apply research and insights on aging, we may find ways to live longer and healthier lives. Scientific and strategic fasting is seen as having great potential in achieving the goal of extending lifespan.
