Why does eating less extend lifespan? 🧬

Mutation accumulation underpins evolution of lifespan extension by dietary restriction

We often think about saving energy or recycling waste - but we show how evolution acting on mutation load can generate longer life on low food 🧵

Restricting calories has been linked to living longer in many studies, and now it seems that the drug rapamycin has nearly the same effect, at least in animals
Rapamycin seems to boost longevity as effectively as eating less

In my latest piece for @uk.theconversation.com, I explain our latest research with @eivimeycook.bsky.social and @alexeimaklakov.bsky.social on how eating less, rapamycin and metformin affect lifespan.

Anti-ageing drug rapamycin may extend life almost as effectively as restricting calories – our new research
Scientists compared diet, rapamycin and metformin in search for longevity boost.

Check out our new preprint where we explored the link between male ageing and gut microbiota in fruit flies! It has been a pleasure to work with @mdonertas.bsky.social 😊
