A longevity diet researcher gently restricts his calories on occasion in the hope of living longer. He shares how he does so safely, as well as his other habits.

The article from Business Insider discusses a study by the National Institute on Aging where scientists are exploring whether reducing calorie intake can extend human lifespan. The study, known as the CALERIE (Comprehensive Assessment of Long-term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy) trial, involves participants who cut their calorie intake by 25% over two years. Preliminary results suggest that this caloric restriction could slow aging, as evidenced by changes in participants' DNA methylation patterns, which are linked to biological aging. The study also examines other lifestyle factors like exercise and stress management, which could complement the effects of calorie reduction. Participants not only aim to live longer but also to improve their healthspan, reducing the risk of age-related diseases. The research highlights the potential of dietary interventions in promoting longevity, although it acknowledges the challenges of maintaining such a diet long-term.
