Calorie restriction, known as "CR" in the anti-aging business, has been intriguing researchers for a lifetime–a non-CR-inflluenced lifetime of about 70 years. As the Wall Street Journal reports, it was back in the 1930s that scientists learned that cutting normal calorie intake by one-third could extend animals’ lifespans by 30 to 40 percent.
Now, the Journal tells us, CR is back in fashion, and that fashion, focused on a substance in red wine called resveratrol, emerged three years ago when a group led by Harvard Medical School
biologist David Sinclair reported that reservatrol boosted yeast cells’ life
span by 70 percent. Sounds great, until one considers a problem pointed out critics of Sinclair: the resveratrol doses used in the life-span-extension
studies in animals were roughly equivalent to hundreds of glasses a
day. Geezer is discouraged, but Sinclair is not. Neither, apparently, are the investors who recently gave him $82 million to pursue his notions. Read more in the Wall Street Journal.
I love you Geezer.
i hav been fasting and restricting calorie intake for years now but did not know it has quality of life extention benefits!! NOW I KNOW!! im 40plus but most people take me for about 30!! so.. this shit REALLY works!!
