Diet and Caloric Restriction for Longevity—The Monkey Trials

How can we make sense of the disparate results from the four primate studies on caloric restriction and lifespan? Here are some of my previous videos on dietary restriction if you’re interested in taking a deeper dive: • The Benefits of Caloric Restriction Without the Actual Restricting (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-benefits-of-caloric-restriction-without-the-actual-restricting/) • Caloric Restriction vs. Animal Protein Restriction (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/caloric-restriction-vs-animal-protein-restriction/) • Caloric Restriction vs. Plant-Based Diets (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/caloric-restriction-vs-plant-based-diets/) • The Benefits of Calorie Restriction for Longevity (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-benefits-of-calorie-restriction-for-longevity/) • Potential Pitfalls of Calorie Restriction (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/potential-pitfalls-of-calorie-restriction/) My new book, How Not to Age (https://nutritionfacts.org/book/how-not-to-age/), is all about living a longer life, and you can get your copy now at your local public library or wherever books are sold. If you haven’t seen them yet, check out the book trailer (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/book-trailer-for-how-not-to-age) and my new presentation (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-not-to-age-live-presentation/).
