Caloric Restriction

[Guest guest]

The emerging theory of why caloric restriction prolong life in most species

tested is that it lowers lifetime exposure to insulin. Thus a

lower-carbohydrate, lower glycemic diet, may extend life even if total calories

are not radicaloly restricted. At the least it woudl delay the typical onset of

age-related insulin resistance, which is in turn associated with increased

inflammation and oxidative damage to the tissues.
