Caloric Restriction & Healthspan
Does caloric restriction improve longevity?
Caloric restriction without malnutrition is one of the most studied interventions for lifespan extension.
Explanation
Animal studies consistently show that reducing calorie intake by 20–30% extends lifespan. The CALERIE clinical trial demonstrated that even moderate caloric restriction (~12%) improved cardiometabolic risk factors.
Practical Emphasis
Focus on nutrient-dense whole foods to avoid deficiencies, while reducing overall calorie intake moderately.
Action Tip
Consider moderate calorie restriction as a strategy to slow aging.
