Calorie Restricted Diets May Be Best Bet To Stop Disease And Halt Aging
Adults, and especially younger people, have one more rationale for reducing the calories you take in per day. If the monkeys from some extremely positive research published in Science are any indication, by following calorie restricted diet plans you'll live longer, look younger and stay illness free.
Monkeys, as close as you can get to humans, fed a low cal diet live longer, have fewer signs of aging and less disease - conditions like cardiovascular disease, brain atrophy and even cancer - in the opinion of some new fascinating research.
In the twenty-year research, the University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers found half of the monkeys authorized to eat as they wished were still alive, while 80% of monkeys who ate the same foods but with a third less calories have survived.
Other professionals assume the long lifespan of monkeys ( about 40 years ) means assumptions on longevity and what we eat can't yet be exprapolated and we want to wait a bit to be certain.
This pioneering but long term study started in 1989 with thirty rhesus macaques and was intended to take a look at the health effects of a low cal diet.
Previous work from 1935 had shown that mice fed a calorie restricted diet lived up to 40% longer - the researchers wanted to determine if the same could be true for apes.
In 1994 the research was increased with the addition of 46 additional animals. All of the subjects were adults when they were enrolled, and of the first 76 in the study, 37% of the control monkeys died to age related causes - 13% of the animal's fed a restricted calorie diet died of similar results.
The incidence of cancerous cancers and heart problems in the monkeys who ate limited calorie diet plans was half that of the animals permitted to eat what they liked.
In reality, the oldest monkey still in the study is called Owen, who is twenty-nine, 2 years older than the average life-span of twenty-seven years in captivity.
One of the more outstanding discoveries of the analysis came in the case of diabetes ( or pre-diabetes ).
This condition was discovered in 42% of the control monkeys who consumed as they liked and none of the monkeys on the prohibited calorie diet.
And when it comes to brain health, the animals who ate a calorie-restricted diet were better off here too, according to Sterling Johnson, a brain specialist and another of the researchers.
The report found that the part of the brain that are tied to short-term memory and critical thinking are better preserved in these subjects.
These same brain scan results have been noticed in other research on animals like fish, mice, worms, rodents and spiders. All of the mavens can say for sure right now is that there are differences in locations of the brain that might be related to the subjects diet.
A limited amount of these same sorts of studies have been attempted on humans, and have resulted in fewer symptoms of cardio aging according to experts.
More work needs to be done, and researchers who study getting older are divided on what stock to put in this work, but that does not imply there's not a sound case for following calorie prohibited diets to keep your body fit today and also as you age. - 17268
