Quote: Fewer calories equal longer life --- At least in monkeys
By Denise Mann
Cutting daily calorie intake by 30 percent may put the brakes on the aging process, have beneficial effects on the brain, and result in a longer life span, according to a new 20-year study of monkeys published in the journal Science.
Calorie restriction needs to be done carefully in order not to turn into malnutrition, say experts.
The study confirms in primates what's long been known in other species, including mice, worms, and flies. And it's no surprise to the humans who have taken the animal research to heart and adopted calorie restriction as a means to a (hopefully) longer and healthier life.
