Cut Calories and live longer

Baack · Jan 3, 2010

Lopping a few calories off every meal adds up quicklyand is key for no-hunger weight loss. Plus, studies show it can help you live longer. The best part: Its easier than you think.

This one move could have truly dramatic results for your long-term health. In one study, rats fed 30 percent less than normal lived 30 percent longer than usual. In other research on humans, calorie restrictors improved their blood insulin levels and had fewer signs of damage to their DNA. Eating less food, scientists believe, may reduce tissue wear and tear from excess blood sugar, inflammation or rogue molecules known as free radicals. And in yet another study, researchers in St. Louis reported that men and women who limited their daily calories to 1,400 to 2,000 (about 25 percent fewer calories than those who followed a typical 2,000- to 3,000-calorie Western diet) were literally young at hearttheir hearts functioned like those of people 15 years younger.

everyone has a different caloric need...if I ate 1400 calories a day I'd be unhappy and too thin.

I would venture to say people that restrict bad fats, carbs, sugar, and alcohol from their diets and keeping their bodyfat within 5-12% without cutting the number of calories would have similar results.
