In
the 1930s, studies on mice discovered that calorie restriction (CR) resulted in
longer-living, thinner, healthier mice
…and
many studies since have confirmed this finding with a variety of animals –
rats, rhesus monkeys, worms – and even yeast!
Around
the middle of the last decade several scientist/researchers in the US and in
Manchester here, revisited this research and began their own studies.
In
August 2012 Dr Mike Mosley’s Horizon programme ,which investigated current US
research into longevity, Calorie Restriction (CR) and Intermittent Fasting
(IF), was broadcast.
(Here’s
a review by Brad Pilon, author of Eat, Stop, Eat, who has been
practicing IF since 2006. His is a website well worth browsing!
