It is not a diet quick to shed a few pounds, but something that scientists know for a long time, that could increase the life of mice and the more primitive creatures as worms, flies, etc, only restricting consumption.

But the first evidence with regard to delays of diseases and aging was obtained in primates (rhesus monkeys that live in the National Center for Primates of Wisconsin), on which the researchers conducted their studies reported in Science magazine.

Nobody knows yet if people could withstand the deprivation of consumption by the time enough to make a difference, however, they have begun attempts to educate the small on the subject.

“In reality it would not be so important that the genta alive again, but that live healthier,” said Dr. David Finkelstein, the National Institute on Aging, but the monkeys of Wisconsin seems to do both.

“The fact that there is less disease in these animals is surprising.”

The tempting possibility of restriction caloric date back to the studies of rodents in the 1930S and today is a hot topic among researchers who are trying to understand the different processes that occur in our bodies, when decompose with age, so perhaps some of them could delayed or reversed.

But Finkelstein warns that people should not try to reduce its intake by his own account, because it could annul important nutrients causing more harm than good. Only have to follow the advice on a common style of healthy life, he said.

“They are All looking obviously, the pill magic”, and there is no, only “look at what you eat, keep your mind active, exercise and do not run over by a car.” said Finkelstein.
