Calorie Restricted Diets Might Be Best Bet To Stop Illness And Halt Aging
Adults, and particularly young people, have one more rationale for cutting the calories you take in per day. If the test monkey from some extremely positive research published in Science are any indication, by following calorie prohibited diets you'll live longer, look younger and stay illness free.
Monkeys, as near as you can get to humans, fed a low cal diet live longer, have less signs of aging and less illness - conditions like cardio disease, brain atrophy and even cancer - according to some new engaging research.
In the twenty-year research, the school of Wisconsin-Madison researchers found half of the monkeys allowed to eat 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 believe the long life-span of monkeys ( about 40 years ) means conclusions on longevity and diet can't yet be exprapolated and we want to wait a little bit to be sure.
This new thinking but long term study commenced in'89 with thirty rhesus macaques and was intended to take a look at the health effects of a calorie-restricted diet.
Earlier work from'35 had indicated that mice fed a low calorie diet lived up to 40% longer - the team wanted to see if the same may be true for primates.
In'94 the study was increased with the addition of 46 extra animals. All the subjects were adults when they were enrolled, and of the original 76 in the study, 37% of the control monkeys lost their lives to age-related causes --% of the animal's fed a restricted calorie diet expired from similar effects.
The incidence of cancerous growths and heart disease in the monkeys who ate limited calorie diets was half that of the animals permitted to eat what they preferred.
Actually, the oldest monkey still in the study is called Owen, who is 29, two years older than the average life-span of 27 years in captivity.
One of the more outstanding findings of the study came in the case of diabetes ( or pre-diabetes ).
This illness was found in 42% of the control monkeys who consumed as they liked and none of the monkeys on the limited calorie diet.
And when it comes to mental health, the animals who consumed a low cal diet were better off here too, according to Sterling Johnson, a brain consultant and another of the researchers.
The study 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 seen in other research on animals like fish, mice, worms, rodents and spiders. All the experts can say for sure at the moment is that there are differences in areas of the brain that might be related to what a subject ate.
A controlled amount of these same kinds of studies have been tried on humans, and have resulted in fewer indications of heart aging according to professionals.
More work needs to be done, and analysts who study aging are divided on what stock to put in this work, but that doesn't suggest there is not a ggod case for following calorie proscribed diets to keep your body healthy and fit today and also as you age. - 17273
