Calorie restriction & anti-aging.(goodnews)(limiting calorie intake can reduce risk of heart disease)(Brief Article)
A stringent, calorie-restricted (CR) diet dramatically reduces the risk of heart disease, a new study shows.
Washington University scientists examined people who limited their calorie intake and avoided processed foods for an average of 6 years. Compared to age-matched individuals on typical American diets, the CR group was found to have the health of people decades younger.
* The CR group's total cholesterol levels were quite low. High-density lipoprotein (HDL), or "good" cholesterol, was high. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol, was extremely low. So were triglyceride readings.
* The CR group--with an average age of 50--had blood pressure readings similar to those of the average 10-year-old, low in both the upper and lower numbers.
* Fasting levels of insulin and glucose were markedly low.
