Here is something that the scientific community has known for a long time: eating less extends life.
This has been extensively proven in things that don’t live all that long – like rats. As a matter of fact caloric restriction (eating less calories) extended the life of some lab rats by as much as 40%.
But what does this mean for us humans. Turns out that is a much harder thing to study. We just live to damn long.
So where to turn? Monkeys of course.
