Caloric Restriction

 

Caloric restriction with adequate nutrition (CRAN) has been shown to extend maximum lifespan on almost every species that has been tested.  A 50% reduction in calories has resulted in up to 50% increase in lifespan.  Success has been shown in rats, yeast, fruit flies and nematodes (worms).  Experiments are currently being done in primates, but no proof currently exists for primates or humans.  A group of people who strongly believe in this theory have the willpower to restrict their caloric intake are being followed by Dr. John Holloszy at Washington University in St. Louis.
