Low Isoleucine Foods

Scientific studies indicate that diets low in protein enhance health and increase lifespan across various species. Specifically, reducing intake of the branched-chain amino acids like leucine, isoleucine, and valine, offers many similar health benefits in certain types of genetically heterogeneous lab mice. Limiting dietary isoleucine alone can improve metabolic health and is necessary for reaping many low-protein diet advantages in such male mice. This study is liekly to have an impact on longevity for human race too (, ).
