The first part, which my link skips, claims that there is no good evidence that Metformin and Rapamycin are anti-aging.

Tomatoes are food.  Healthy food.  Roma tomatoes have enough lycopene for the whole day so I eat 1 or 2 per day.

I'm not sure how to eat this food, and 40G seems excessive.

Likewise, he recommends 40G fiber.  Again, this seems way excessive.  A 12 oz package of mixed vegetables, which claims to be 4 servings, has 12G of fiber per package.  I like eating vegetables with something that tastes good, like chicken nuggets, chicken strips, or ravioli.  

I also get fiber from fruit.  I try to eat an apple every day, because doing so reportedly can lower cholesterol.

Too much of either substance will have intestinal effects, like gas, because they are broken down by gut bacteria.  I've been trying to eat fiber to deal with constipation.

I'm concerned that the study doesn't control for the Omega-3 intake, although taking both sounds like a good idea.  I'm already taking Vitamin D.   However, I'm not a doctor nor a medical expert.  

I'm also concerned that he doesn't provide a link to the study.  I found the article on the The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition website:  https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0002-9165(25)00255-2/abstract

I believe in, "Trust, but verify".  I would like to see more studies.  

According to Google AI...

"Yes, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (AJCN) is a highly reputable, peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing primary research, considered a top source in nutrition and dietetics, though it's published by the American Society for Nutrition (ASN), which receives funding from food/beverage industry partners, a point some critics raise regarding potential influence. Its high impact factor and publication of rigorous studies on topics like obesity, metabolism, and vitamins underscore its scientific standing. "
