Scientists have revealed that cutting calories by about 30 per cent, while maintaining a nutritious diet, delays ageing in primates and could also add years of extra life to humans.
WASHINGTON - A NUTRITIOUS but calorie-restricted diet can increase life expectancy and reduce the risk of age-related diseases, including cancer, according to research published in the journal Science on Thursday. The study, conducted over 20 years on dozens of rhesus macaque monkeys, provides new insight into the way the phenomenon works and its potential implications for humans, according to ...
A decades-long study of monkeys finds that those who consumed a strict, reduced-calorie diet were three times less likely to die from age-related diseases like cancer, diabetes, heart disease and brain atrophy than monkeys that ate as they liked, researchers reported on Thursday."We have been able to show that caloric restriction can slow the aging process in a primate species," said Richard ...
A 20-year study of monkeys shows that a reduced-calorie diet pays off in less disease and longer life, U.S. researchers said on Thursday, a finding that could apply to humans.
The bottom-line message from a decades-long study of monkeys on a restricted diet is simple: Consuming fewer calories leads to a longer, healthier life. Researchers report that a nutritious but reduced-calorie diet blunts aging and significantly delays the onset of such age-related disorders as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and brain atrophy.
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.
WASHINGTON (AFP) - A nutritious but calorie-restricted diet can increase life expectancy and reduce the risk of age-related diseases, including cancer, according to research published in the journal Science Thursday.
Eating less may help people to live longer, a new study suggests. Scientists have shown for the first time that a nutritious but reduced calorie diet delays ageing in primates.
