Abstract:
Caloric restriction has been practiced over 500 years as a method for increasing both the length and quality of life.Experimental work confirming the success of this approac h in animals has accumulated in the last 100 years.Since 2000,emerging evidence in humans has shown that caloric restriction can delay the onset of age related diseases including reduced risk of obesity,diabetes,cardiovascular disease,cancer,and neurodegenerative disorders.The mechanisms and clinical applications have been extensively studied.
