Restricting Calories May Increase Life Span

Scientists at the University at Buffalo suggested that restricting daily calorie consumption may help people live longer.

The same study has found that severely restricting calories in day-to-day diet may also help humans slowing the seemingly inevitable progression to physical disability and in maintaining physical fitness into an advanced age. Based on an average of 2,500 calories per day for adult men and 2,000 for women, a moderate form of caloric restriction of eight percent, is easy achievable in humans and may have significant beneficial effects on specific oxidative stress linked to wrinkles, sagging skin, and age spots.
