Time-restricted feeding and circadian autophagy for long life

Nature Reviews Endocrinology, Published online: 24 November 2021; doi:10.1038/s41574-021-00600-3Time-restricted feeding (TRF) has shown many health benefits in different organisms, but its effect on lifespan is unknown. A new study showed that a novel intermittent TRF (iTRF) dietary regimen can extend the healthy lifespan of Drosophila. A clock-dependent nightly rise in autophagy drives the lifespan benefits of iTRF.
