“Longitudinal studies showed that people with type 2 diabetes taking metformin lived 15 percent longer than healthy controls not taking the drug. This raises the question as to whether the longevity benefits of metformin may extend to healthy people.”

“Studies of centenarians suggest that lower levels of inflammation are associated with longevity. Different types of fiber provide fuel to diverse species of bacteria in the gut, which then synthesize byproducts that regulate the inflammatory process.”
