Calorie Restriction

mario94's Photo mario94 18 Sep 2020

Hi, are there any data in humans on the relationship between caloric restriction and longevity? Any evidence? Is it officialy confirmed in humans by science? Or is it a hypothesis?

 

Of course calorie restriction leads to for example: lose weight, you get fit and reduce overall risk of cardiovasuclar and other potent diseases etc. So yeah, if you practice caloric restriction, you eliminate some diseases and other factors which leads to live a longer and healthier life. But what if someone is healthy and fit, and do practice calorie restriction? Does it extend your lifespan? :)

 

Why do some people who practice caloric restriction look very unhealthy, old and malnourished? Some of them before they turn 40 look on their 60, lol. If someone looks on theirs 60 and didnt turn 40 yet, there is not something right, no?  :cool:

It is confirmed by science that people on a calorie restriction diet are phenotypically much younger than their age. Sharing the same characteristics and people who are predisposed (due to genetics) to extreme longevity. There is no long term CRON study to determine whether or not it extends lifespan in humans. 

 

When I put my own blood test results into phenotype age calculators (uses deep learning), it's as young as 14.94 years (Ageless RX) to 23 years (Aging.AI 3.0). The latter only goes as low as 23 because of the data set used.

 

Who looks 60 years old but hasn't turned 40? I think you're being ridiculous.

Source?

 

Well you just said there is no long term cr study if it extends or nop lifespan in humans. :) Any short term studies? If ya, can you give me sources? But in humans, thanks.

 

What if is it mostly about genes? ;) Two years ago during my pathophysiology classes prof. told us a story behind longevity. He knows two twin brothers, one never smoked, healthy eating and second one is smoking since high school, too much, plus not eatin healthy (eating junkfood, drinking alcohol etc.) both are above 55 and looking phenotypically same. :) Well how is it possible? :)

Rather bizarre. Any idea about other potential differences? Exercise, supplements?
