The fasting-mimicking program is a 5-day program based on a specific nutritional plan with natural products and ingredients. It was designed to “trigger” the fasting state while still providing nutrients and calories. It is therefore possible to receive all the benefits of fasting while minimizing difficulties such as a sense of hunger. The program is built on the scientific research and years of work of Professor Valter Longo and his team at the University of Southern California and it is clinically tested.
To help you support the immune system through nutrition and lifestyle, particularly in a critical period like the recent pandemic, Fondazione Valter Longo created Nutritional Guidelines to Strengthen the Immune System for everyone.

The Longevity Diet is a lifestyle, and it also includes physical movement. For this reason, you will find precise information about physical exercise to be practiced during the week.
For those who practice the fasting-mimicking diet, a video is available with a specific exercise practice to follow during this period. It was developed thanks to the collaboration of experts.
