Research on the effects of fasting on telomere length is ongoing, and while some studies suggest that intermittent fasting and caloric restriction may have a positive impact on telomere health by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, there is no conclusive evidence that fasting directly lengthens telomeres. A healthy lifestyle, including balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, and stress management, may help protect telomeres from excessive shortening.
