Diet Restriction

Overview

Diet Restriction is the long-term restriction of food intake, specifically the restriction of the total number of calories consumed without restricting the availability of essential nutrients. True Diet Restriction involves reducing total daily intake of calories by 60% - 70%.

Aging & Life Extension

 Diet Restriction may inhibit the progression of the Aging Process:  ^[1]

 Diet Restriction may retard the Aging Process in the Pineal Gland.  ^[2]

 Diet Restriction may contribute to Life Extension:  ^[3]

 Fifty years of animal research has demonstrated that under-nutrition is an effective means of extending life span in animals - experiments with worms proved that the life extension value of dietary restriction was the equivalent to keeping a human alive for the equivalent of 600 years.

 One of the means by which this effect is achieved is through the preservation of youthful levels of Melatonin production and secretion.

 Another means by which Diet Restriction may contribute to Life Extension is by enhancing the process of Apoptosis (i.e. programmed cell death of damaged Cells).  ^[4]
