Abstract in brief

  • Both the University of Wisconsin and National Institute on Aging studies aimed to assess the effects of caloric restriction (CR) on lifespan and age-related disorders in rhesus monkeys, but they produced conflicting results regarding survival benefits.
  • The UW study observed significant survival improvements with CR, while the NIA study found no notable effects, highlighting the controversy surrounding CR's impact on primates.
  • This research compares data from both studies, noting differences in design and suggesting that CR could still offer health benefits applicable to human health, despite varying outcomes.

@feeneystrength https://t.co/avXva4zHhA Blood levels of insulin drop significantly, which facilitates fat burning (HGH) levels increase dramatically. You eat fewer calories.

And by 'extends lifespan' I'm not just talking about a few days... various species in #PrimateResearch have revealed up to a 50% increase in #LifeSpan with #CaloricRestriction. Wondering if #GutMicrobiota are causal in CR #Aging https://t.co/vceE4ouTD5 https://t.co/GVUR8UY8fW

Do you want to have a long, fulfilling life? Just don't eat that much and you'll be fine, you need less than you think. This could potentially extend your lifespan by many many years. Listen to your body. https://t.co/kueWCoXrUg https://t.co/ts2AYVu25v

I've been eating a #calorierestricted or #CR diet for years. Why? Because of 2 monkey studies (attched). My takeaways: 1) 10% less calories is just as good as 40% for #lifeextension. 2) You can wait until you are 52 years old to reduce calories by 10%. https://t.co/cD7nk5j5gd
