TO LIVE LONGER

Yesterday we looked at how losing weight can reduce the risk of the disease. Losing weight can also help you live longer. There is  also a lot of evidence that reducing calories will actually increase your life expectancy. You can read more about this in this article from Scientific America.




Restricting the amount of calories whilst maintaining good nutrition will increase the life expectancy in many species. These are as diverse as yeast cells and dogs. More and more evidence is suggesting that this is the same in humans.

So, as your weight comes down, your life expectancy is going up. Cool.
