Another suggested video, after the one with Dr. Attia, a shorter one and extremely interesting, on the ancestral body sensor of nutrients, the mammalian target of rapamycine, or mTOR.
The message here is clear: eat less proteins, live longer. As simple as that. mTOR is a genetic sensor which is activated by an abundance of proteins. This in ancestral times was the signal to grow and reproduce. Growth, after youth, is at the expense of manteinance & repair. Apparently, the body cannot grow and significantly repair at the same time. Growth, past the age of youth and barring exceptional circumstances like pregnancy, recovery and so on, is also a mode which favours cancer cells growth and degenerative disease = premature death.
Again, I'm astounded that such doctors give out freely their time to the dissemination fo such priceless knowledge.

We have been told as vegetarians all our lives that we do not get enough protein and here is a guy that is telling us the opposite for longevity. i doubt that we have to be too concerned about too much protein however maybe we do not have to think about getting suplements and maybe the standard daily needs of protein are not correct (about 50 grams a day) What do you think? I have a close friend who continously recomends i get 60 grsms a day to help in recovery and fighting di-sease. It seems like what this man is saying favors our diet and a vegan diet since it has even less protein. However he never mentioned either.
