Want to be healthy? Eat Less!
September 5th, 2009
Reducing calorie intake slows aging and significantly delays the onset of age-related problems such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and brain atrophy in monkeys, a new study says.
According to the study, the incidence of cancerous tumors and cardiovascular disease in the monkeys on a restricted diet was half that seen in the animals that were allowed to eat freely. -webmd.com
MY COMMENT: I’d like to see what difference physical activity can make- will the monkeys be able to eat more and remain just as healthy? Also, good luck selling calorie restriction to the general public- we already know that most people would be better off if they ate less, and there is no sign that we are eating less.
