Cutting calories slightly helps reduce aging problems

Posted on Mar 6th 2007 1:32PM by Brian White
The effects of aging can be slowed by just minimally reducing the amount of calories one consumes per day, according to new research.

In a test performed on a rat population (as always, it seems), scientists have found that eating a little less food and exercising just a little bit more every day could reduce or even reverse aging-related cell and organ damage in those rates.

Can this be carried over to humans? That is always up for debate -- but a minimal reduction in caloric intake per day is never a bad thing for most of us.
