Well dang after looking like the picture of the monkey on the left, now they tell me. ;D
Cutting calories may delay the ageing process and reduce the risk of disease, a long-term study of monkeys suggests.
The benefits of calorie restriction are well documented in animals, but now the results have been replicated in a close relative of man over a lengthy period.
Over 20 years, monkeys whose diets were not restricted were nearly three times more likely to have died than those whose calories were counted.
Writing in Science, the US researchers hailed the "major effect" of the diet.
It involved reducing calorie intake by 30% while maintaining nutrition and appeared to impact upon many forms of age-related disease seen in monkeys, including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and brain atrophy.
This is nothing new. For a lot of years my doctor has been telling me that eating too much and no exercise will make you fat and old before your time. And then you die.

Yeah, but you die fat and happy.
I have a different take on that. Every year we hear about somebody dropping dead on a treadmill at the gym, or playing raquetball, or running up some mountain. But when's the last time you ever heard of somebody dropping dead at the KFC?

Eat more chicken, that's what I say.
I didn't say I was doing what my doctor said, just relating what he tells me year after year after year .....

mrtxstar: Mass job-killing for the sake of an ideological end is domestic terrorism. The Biden immigration plan isn't about immigration, it's about flipping Texas blue which ultimately leads to the GOP never winning another federal election ever again. No Thank you.
