Eating slightly Create Human Longevity

People who are very carefully regulate calorie intake can prolong his age.

Because these people can avoid many health problems that come along with aging.

Scientists examine health in a group of people aged 35-82 years who had decided to restrict your calorie intake.

The results found participants who ate less had a lower risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

"Diet for calorie restriction provides benefits for long-term effects," said John O. Holloszy of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, as reported from Genomenewsnetwork.

The team, led by Holloszky comparing 18 people who ate fewer calories with 18 healthy people who are not obese are still eating patterns of the west.

Participants who normally consume 2000-3550 calories per day, whereas a restricted eating 1000-2000 calories consisting of 26 percent protein, 28 percent fat and 46 percent complex carbohydrates.

"Caloric restriction here does not mean starvation, because only reduce your calorie intake without causing malnutrition (malnutrition)," said Chhanda Dutta, head of the Clinical Gerontology Branch of the National Institute on Aging in Bethesda, Maryland.

Participants who have a calorie restricted low risk factors for heart disease, diabetes, have lower cholesterol than the control group and normal blood pressure.

Additionally calorie restriction has also made three participants no longer need to take cholesterol-lowering drugs.

"The amazing thing is regardless of their genetic background, all participants showed the same response," Holloszy said.

While testing on animals that could be avoided every calorie that adds about 30 seconds of extra life. Scientists have known that rats, mice and worms that eat less live long.

Scientists reveal take decades to prove that the person who is carefully regulate calorie intake can prolong his age.

There are two theories that explain why people who restrict their calorie intake can prolong the age, namely:

1. Calorie restriction reduces the amount of glucose that enters the cell from time to time. This means limiting the production of free radicals in the mitochondria organelles that contain many enzymes important for metabolism.

2. Calorie restriction makes someone more able to cope with severe stress at the cellular level and to fight the diseases associated with some specific types of stress.
