JJ Virgin: Does Protein Prevent or Cause Aging?

The protein leverage hypothesis suggests that humans and rodents tend to overeat if their diet lacks sufficient protein, especially if it is high in fat and carbs.

Incorporating more protein in the diet can promote better satiety and slow down stomach emptying, making it a key macronutrient for maintaining a healthy diet.
