Anew study finds that humans benefit from moderate calorie restriction, backing up decades of animal studies — and there might even be a way to enjoy those benefits without cutting down on what we eat.
In 1935, Cornell University researcher Clive McCay discovered that rats placed on low-calorie diets lived up to 33% longer than those fed the average diet. Since then, calorie restriction has been shown to extend the lives of many other species, from flies to monkeys.

Can Calorie Restriction Extend Your Lifespan?
We may never reach a point where we can adequately determine both the effectiveness and safety of recommending calorie restriction in the clinic. However, understanding why caloric restriction seems to promote longevity could shed deeper insight into the aging process itself. Addressing this mystery may help lead to other anti-aging efforts, even if this particular calorie restriction work never makes it out of the lab.
