Could calorie restriction help you live a longer healthier life?
There is some research on mammals to suggest that less food promotes a longer life, puts less stress on the digestive system and limits the amount of free radicals produced in digestion.
Recent research from Washington University scientists found that people who slashed their calorie intake have lower core body temperatures than those who eat more. Core body temperature is the temperature at which all of the functions in the body can operate at maximum efficiency, so the link looks like a positive one, according to some researchers.
