Molochian centenarians tend to live with their sons’ or daughters’ families. Because the younger generation has adopted a more modern diet, we speculated that transitioning to a higher-protein diet with more animal-based ingredients—which many of the centenarians did in their eighties and nineties—may contribute to their extreme longevity. In other words, maintaining a high-vegetable, low-protein diet for the first 70 or 80 years of life, and later switching to a diet richer in proteins but also animal-based foods like eggs, chicken, milk, and certain cheeses, may have slowed down aging and optimized the health of the Molochio centenarians. This explanation fits with our discovery that low-protein intake is associated with extended longevity and a major reduction in cancer in people age 65 and younger, but not in those above 66. In fact, we know that IGF-1 and other hormones that contribute to aging can reach very low levels after age 80. [2018] - Valter Longo
