The Potential of Intermittent Fasting in Age-related Diseases and Precision Anti-aging Therapeutics by Singh, Abhishek Kumar; Sinha, Jitendra Kumar; Seetharam, Raviraja N;

Long description:

The Potential of Intermittent Fasting in Age-related Diseases and Precision Anti-aging Therapeutics takes an in-depth look at the beneficial and efficacious role of Intermittent Fasting (IF) in a wide array of aging-associated diseases. It provides a comprehensive resource that not only outlines the potential benefits and future research directions but also delves into the limitations and nuances of IF in managing these conditions. The book is divided sections and begins by covering the fundamentals of aging and the effects of IF. Subsequent sections examine the physiological impact IF has on aging; its potential influence on stress resistance, heart, gut, and overall health optimization; social and ethical considerations as a therapeutic strategy; bridging IF research findings and clinical practice; and the potential integration and application of IF into age-related diseases treatment. Offering a consolidated and scientifically grounded perspective aimed at equipping readers with a balanced understanding, this book serves as a go-to reference for researchers and clinicians alike seeking clear and accurate insights into how IF can positively influence the health and longevity of the aging population.

• Offers comprehensive coverage of the intricacies of IF and its promising implications in age-related diseases and precision antiaging therapeutics
• Explores IF's mechanistic insights and mode of action in disorders associated with aging and lifestyle changes
• Discusses cutting-edge advancements in biomedicine and treatment strategies linked to aging-related conditions through IF-focused research
