Caloric restriction won't dramatically extend life span in humans: UCLA research
Severely restricting calories over decades may add a few years to a human life span, but will not enable humans to live to 125 and beyond, as many have speculated, evolutionary biologists report. "Our message is that suffering years of misery to remain super-skinny is not going to have a big payoff in terms of a longer life," said UCLA evolutionary biologist John Phelan. "I once heard some...Progression Of ALS May Be Prevented By A High Caloric Diet
Researchers have found a link between diet and ALS saying that a ketogenic- high caloric diet may prevent the progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). // The Mount Sinai School of Medicine is the first to draw a correlation between diet and neuronal cell death, the cause of ALS. According to foodconsumer.org, ALS is an adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder in which spinal a...Caloric Restriction in Non-obese People Extends Life Span
Caloric Restriction in non-obese people too is not without benefits. Caloric Restriction causes less oxidative damage in muscle cells which delays// aging and extends life span. This new study was conducted by Anthony Civitarese, Eric Ravussin, and colleagues (Pennington Biomedical Research Center).Oxidative damage has been linked to aging, and this could explain how limiting calorie...
