Scientists from the United States have found that various diets can slow down the aging of the body: a decrease in calories by 40% gave the largest increase in life expectancy, in second place - intermittent starvation and light diets.
According to scientists, with reduction in calories, cells begin to read their own genes more slowly, it is less mistaken, and as a result - life expectancy is growing.
Also, one of the main mechanisms that provide such an effect is associated with cell metabolism. In the process of consumption by a cell of energy, waste forms that cause oxidative stress that can damage DNA. When human cells consume less energy due to the limitation of calories, the waste of vital activity becomes less, and the cells are destroyed more slowly.
