Calorie Restricted Diets Might Be Best Chance To Stop Illness And Slow Aging
Adults, and particularly younger people, have yet one more rationale for reducing the calories you take in per day. If the test monkey from some terribly positive research appearing in Science are any guide, by following calorie restricted diet plans you'll live longer, look younger and stay disease free.
Monkeys, as near as you can get genetically to humans, fed a calorie-restricted diet have a longer life, have less appearances of aging and less disease - conditions like cardio illness, brain atrophy and even cancer - in the opinion of some new fascinating research.
In the 20-year study, the University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers uncovered 50% of the monkeys allowed to consume as they wished were still alive, while eighty percent of monkeys who ate the same foods but with a third less calories have survived.
Other professionals assume the long life-span of monkeys ( about 40 years ) means conclusions on longevity and diet can't yet be drawn and we want to wait a bit to be certain.
This new thinking but long-term study commenced in 1989 with 30 rhesus macaques and was intended to have a look at the health consequences of a low calorie diet.
Earlier work from 1935 had indicated that mice fed a calorie restricted diet lived up to 40% longer - the researchers wanted to work out if the same may be true for apes.
In 1994 the study was increased with the addition of 46 further animals. All the subjects were adults when they were enrolled, and of the first 76 in the study, 37% of the control monkeys died to age-implicated causes - 13% of the animal's fed a prohibited calorie diet expired from similar effects.
The prevalence of cancerous tumors and heart problems in the monkeys who ate limited calorie diet plans was half that of the animals permitted to eat what they liked.
Incidentally, the oldest monkey still in the study is control subject Owen, who is twenty-nine, 2 years older than the average lifespan of 27 years in captivity.
One of the more noteworthy discoveries of the research came in the case of diabetes ( or pre-diabetes ).
This condition was found in 42% of the control monkeys who ate as they wanted and none of the monkeys on the prohibited calorie diets.
And when it comes to mental health, the animals who consumed a low calorie diet were better off here too, according to Sterling Johnson, a brain specialist and another of the analysts.
The report found the areas of the brain that are tied to short-term memory and problem solving are better saved in these subjects.
These same brain results have been noticed in other research on animals like fish, mice, worms, rodents and spiders. All of the experts can say for sure now is that there are differences in areas of the brain that could be related to what a subject ate.
A limited amount of these same types of studies have been tried on humans, and have resulted in fewer signs of cardiovascular aging according to researchers.
More work should be done, and analysts who study aging are divided on what stock to put in this work, but that doesn't mean there is not a sound case for following calorie prohibited diets to keep your body fit today and also as you age. - 17274
