Professor James White explores how caloric restriction can contribute to longer lifespan. His research suggests that reducing calorie intake triggers a biological response that may eliminate aging markers from DNA. In animal studies, restricted diets significantly extended mice lives. White advocates sustainable eating habits over strict calorie counting, focusing instead on nutritious foods and regular exercise. While studies indicate health improvements linked to reduced caloric intake in humans, definitive evidence connecting calorie restriction to increased longevity remains elusive. His practices highlight a holistic approach for a long and healthy life.
Restricting the number of calories we eat causes low-level stress in the body, which triggers certain processes that remove markers of aging from our DNA.
In one study, he and his team found that mice who ate 30 to 40% fewer calories than others lived 40% longer. That's the equivalent of a human living another 30 years.
