NIH study finds calorie restriction does not affect survival

Scientists have found that calorie restriction--a diet comprised of approximately 30 percent fewer calories but with the same nutrients of a standard diet--does not extend years of life or reduce age-...

Caloric Restriction Plus Physical Activity For Longevity

Fruit flies on dietary restriction (DR) need to be physically active in order to get the lifespan extending benefits that come from their Spartan diet. If the same axiom holds true in humans, those pr...

Physical activity needed in order to reap benefits of dietary restriction

Fruit flies on dietary restriction (DR) need to be physically active in order to get the lifespan extending benefits that come from their Spartan diet. If the same axiom holds true in humans, those pr...

Lawrence Broder MD Weighs in on HCG Diet Controversy on the Dr Oz Show

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr Sheri Emma recently discussed the HCG diet controversy on the Dr Oz Show. First, Dr Oz interviewed a host of women who lost weight with the HCG die...

How calorie restriction influences longevity: Protecting cells from damage caused by chronic disease

Scientists have identified a novel mechanism by which a type of low-carb, low-calorie diet -- called a "ketogenic diet" -- could delay the effects of aging. This fundamental discovery reveals how such...

Physical activity needed to reap benefits of dietary restriction

Dietary restriction alone does not extend lifespan – at least in fruit flies. Flies, which share many genetic similarities with humans, need physical activity in order to live longer on a Spartan di...

Scientists discover novel mechanism by which calorie restriction influences longevity

Scientists at the Gladstone Institutes have identified a novel mechanism by which a type of low-carb, low-calorie diet—called a "ketogenic diet"—could delay the effects of aging. This fundamental...

Low-calorie diet may not prolong life: study

A low-calorie diet boosts health but does not prolong life, at least not in rhesus monkeys, scientists reported Wednesday in a new study into a long-held link between food restriction and longevity.

Calorie restriction and endurance exercise share potent anti-inflammatory function in adipose tissues in ameliorating diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance in mice.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Calorie restriction (CR) and endurance exercise are known to attenuate obesity and improve the metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study was to directly compare the effects of CR...

Energy restriction only slightly influences protein metabolism in obese rats, whatever the level of protein and its source in the diet.

BACKGROUND:High protein (HP) diets during energy restriction have been studied extensively regarding their ability to reduce body fat and preserve lean body mass, but little is known about their effec...

Maternal protein restriction regulates IGF2 system in placental labyrinth.

This study was to test the hypothesis that altered IGF2 system in the placental labyrinth zone (LZ) impairs feto-placental growth in response to maternal protein restriction. Rats were fed a 20percent...

Beneficial impact of aerobic exercises on bone mineral density in obese premenopausal women under caloric restriction.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of caloric restriction diet versus caloric restriction diet combined with aerobic exercises on bone mineral density (BMD) in obese premenopaus...

Life Extension by Diet Restriction and N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine in Genetically Heterogeneous Mice.

We used a heterogeneous stock of mice-UM-HET3, the first generation offspring of CByB6F1/J and C3D2F1/J parents-to test effects of six antiaging treatments on life span. In the first report of diet re...
