Calorie Restriction Results In Longer Lifespan and Healthier Aging!

 

Limitation of calorie intake by 20-30% compared to usual intake was found to significantly extend the life of rodents, yeast, C. elegans, D. melanogaster, and potentially primates . In mammals, such a diet was also found to lower the risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, cancer, inflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases .

Low Protein, High Carb Diet Effective for Heart Health!

"Low protein, high carbohydrate diets could be just as effective as low calorie diets at promoting a long life and good heart and digestive health.""The mice got the same benefits from a low protein, high carbohydrate as a 40 percent caloric restriction diet."

Losing Weight is a Matter of Biology!

"For the first time in a lab, researchers have found evidence supporting the commonly held belief that people with certain physiologies lose less weight than others when limiting calories. At this time, researchers do not know whether the biological differences are innate or develop over time."
