Study shows diet ratio and aging

In a laboratory of the National Research Center for Primate Wisconsin, Matthias suffers with age. At 28, stage of old age for a rhesus monkey, Matthias loses her hair, dragging her belly and gets wrinkles on the face. However, in the cage next to one of his colleagues lab, Rudy, is the picture of simian vitality, although it is only a little older.
  
With a simple lifestyle intervention, Rudy and other primates like him (like corner, pictured above) should have very long lives and active. Quick Paleo Recipe Ideas They receive a diet with caloric restriction, about 30% fewer calories than normal, but with appropriate amounts of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.
  
The way this diet affects the body is subject to a series of studies, indicating that the aging index can be manipulated. Energy-restricted diets applied to many animals have shown that they interfere with molecular reactions involved in the advancement of Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson's disease and cancer. Earlier this year, researchers said that calorie restriction may be more effective than exercise in the prevention of age-related diseases.
  
Monkeys like Rudy seem to prove the theory. The animals subjected to restrictive diet unquestionably enjoy better health than the monkeys under normal diet approaching old age. These show signs of aging similar to those that occur in humans. Three developed diabetes and a fourth died from the disease. Five died of cancer.
  
But Rudy and his diet colleagues are doing better. None have diabetes and only three died of cancer. It is too early to know if they will live longer than others, but they have lower pressure and lower levels of harmful fats, glucose and insulin. "Preliminary indications point to a solid prolongation of life in animals under restricted diet," said Richard Weindruch, gerontologist at the University of Wisconsin that coordinates research with monkeys.
  
The findings call into question old scientific and cultural beliefs about body decay of inevitability.  Paleo recipe ideas They also suggest that other interventions, such as new drugs, may retard the aging even if the diet proves ineffective in humans. A leading candidate, a newly synthesized form of resveratrol - an antioxidant present in red wine - is already tested in patients. Eventually, she may become the first of a new class of anti-aging drugs.
  
Based on recent findings from animal studies, Richard A. Miller, University of Michigan pathologist estimated that a pill mimicking the effects of caloric restriction could prolong human life span for about 112 years healthy, with the most old reaching 140. Some experts consider overly optimistic projection.
