“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.”

“Fiber plays a pivotal role in fueling good bacteria in the gut, which produce compounds that keep the immune system in check and prevent autoimmune responses. Research suggests that maintaining a protective mucin layer in the gut helps restrict the release of endotoxin from intestinal bacteria, a major source of inflammation.”

“It's no surprise that eating high carbohydrate foods, especially those that are low in fiber and high in simple sugars, can raise blood glucose levels. What might be a surprise is that the body's response to carbohydrate and other components of the diet is highly personal – influenced by not only a person's metabolic profile, but also their gut microbiome.”

“Dr. D'Agostino asserts that transitioning to the diet by titrating carbohydrates down gradually improves adherence and tolerance. He further describes how he incorporates fiber and micronutrients into his diet.”

“Dr. Snyder focuses on weight training, recently gaining 10 pounds of muscle, in a hedge to stave off sarcopenia — or age-related loss of muscle mass that can lead to frailty. He centers his diet around managing his blood glucose levels and strives to reach his daily fiber needs.”
