"Immortality" is an eternal dream for humankind. Previous studies have shown that eating an "ultra-low calorie" diet extends lifespan, but only for insects and mice.

However, a new experiment has revealed that calorie restriction also delays the aging of mammals. BBC News reports .


According to the media, the results of the experiment were announced by a medical research team led by Dr. Rozalyn Anderson of the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the United States. The team conducted experiments with monkeys and found that reducing their daily diet by a quarter would extend their lifespan. That means that humans may have a longer lifespan if they limit calories ...?


But Rozalyn is negative about this. She told the media like this.

"The aim of this experiment is to investigate the" relationship "between old age and illness. Similar calorie restriction is not recommended in human life."

She points out that it is very difficult for humans to maintain strict calorie restriction for long periods of time. Whether or not the results of this experiment really apply to humans seems to require further research.

So, I will continue to eat what I want to eat and live (I just wanted to say that).
