Is Caloric Restriction Necessary for Longevity?

by Sean Croxton

A few nights ago, Donna Gates, author of The Baby Boomer Diet, came on UW Radio wielding nothing but anti-aging truth bombs.

In this clip, I ask her about the science on caloric restriction, which shows that reducing the amount of calories fed to mammals increases their lifespan.

This sounds cool and all BUT cutting calories also sounds like a drag! It scores a zero on the fun meter.

Who wants to eat rabbit food and be hungry all day?

So, Donna tells us how we can use diet to mimic the effects of caloric restriction.

Pretty cool stuff!

Later!
