Studies have shown that restricted eating is linked to improved longevity. In a recent study, researchers explored how eating less could extend lifespan and discovered that those who experienced the least weight loss while eating less had the greatest longevity benefits.
According to the results of the mice study published in Nature, eating less food or less frequently improved longevity. However, consuming fewer calories significantly impacted lifespan more than periodic fasting. The results revealed that mice on very low-calorie diets lived longer, regardless of their body fat or glucose levels, which are common biomarkers of metabolic health and aging.
