Eat less to live longer… as long as you don’t lose weight in the process! In recent years, more and more studies have been looking at the potential benefits of dietary restriction. In particular, calorie restriction (where you eat a little less all the time) and fasting (where you don’t eat anything for hours or days).
Thus, it has been shown that the Calorie restriction increases lifespan in mice, and that she slightly slows the rate of aging in humans And increases brain resilienceThe results on fasting are more mixed: intermittent fasting (for more than 12 hours) could be heart protector, but a prolonged fast (of several days) could harm the immune system and increase the risk of blood clots.
