Good Lifestyle

Here is a fun fact: human beings and rhesus monkeys share 93% of the same DNA. Here's another: the age of the rhesus monkeys in the same way as human beings do - the hair gray, the shots, the joints stiffened. And like these primates age, the rates ofCancer and skyrocar heart disease, as in humans. So when it comes to testing how scientific discoveries will affect humans, the rhesus monkey is to borrow in the kingdom of animals - as a good guinea pig as we will seek and scientists discover the way these cousins Primates of ours can hold the key tolongevity. And everything fell to your calories.

Some brief Backstory: In the late 1980s, the University of Wisconsin and the National Institute of Aging (NIA) launched two long-term studies on the aging rhesus monkeys. Both studies have presented tailor-made diets for each monkey-76 Rhesus at the University of Wisconsin and 121 at NIA. Each primacy has received all the essential nutrients to maintain a healthy lifestyle. But half of the monkeys received a diet with 30% fewer calories. Not only are entrepreneurs are very good, they are booming.

A monkey named Sherman has just turned 43 years, which is virtually old in the Monkey Rhesus years. (The average age of the rhesus monkeys in captivity is about 25 years old) and, although this is really remarkable, Sherman is not an autonomous case. On all monkeys on a restricted calorie diet, 13% died of cause related to age. Of those who could eat the content of their hearts, stuffing calories? This figure is 37%. Like Rozalyn Anderson, a gerontologist from the University of Wisconsin,said to the BBC, "We have shown that aging can be manipulated in primates."

Anderson says that the implications are enormous. "Going after each disease one at a time will not expand significantly to the life of people because they will die of something else," she said. "If you have healed all the cancers, you would not want to shift death to make cardiovascular diseases, or dementia dementia, or disorders associated with diabetes. While if you go after aging, you can compensate for the lot in one one time."

In fact, the tests on rhesus monkeys have proved so effective that the scientific community has taken over and has begun to apply thoughts to human beings. Susan Roberts, a dietetic scientist of Toufts, told the BBC that it maintains a calorie consumption of about 80%. As a result, his BMI is a 22. If she did not slow these calories, she says he would be at 30 years old.

Roberts is also a leading scientist on a study called the complete assessment of the long-term effects of reducing energy consumption. (Callerie, get it?) For all useful purposes, it is a replication of dual rhesus monkey studies, just with human beings. The study lasted only two years, as opposed to two decades, but already showed external effects. People on restricted calorie regimes showed a 40% decrease in insulin resistance levels, which causes diabetes and a 25% decrease in molecules called tumor necrosis factors. (These are the perverse cells that cause cancer.)

In short, the researchers indicate that the reduction of your calorie consumption of 20 or 30% can significantly reduce your risk of developing a final disease.

Of course, a reduction of calories is not good news; There are negative consequences. Among the 220 human volunteers in the study of Callery, none of them reported additional hunger, mood swings or a decreasesex drive. However, they have been endangered for a slight decrease in bone density. And if you cut the calories greatly - like candidates fromThe biggest loser Have shown: you may seriously haem your metabolism and to delight ravings about your endocrine system.

So consider that a fair warning, which is nothing on the monkey around.
