A recent research report released by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) said that reducing heat intake daily can help strengthen muscle strength, slow down aging, and prolong life.
This report published in the scientific journal Aging Cell states that reducing calories intake but not absorption of vitamins and minerals can delay the aging-related illnesses.
Researchers analyzed the research data of the Institute of Health's "Long-term Effects of Reducing Energy Absorption", including the results of muscle anatomy observation, and concluded as described above.
The National Hospital data showed that during the two-year study period, the physiological mechanism of "healthy aging" in the body will be activated by the physiological mechanism of "healthy aging", that is, the cell transmission signal will allow other cells to open or close certain genes, and will be "wake up" or closed, which will cause the effect of prolonging aging.
The average weight of the study subjects decreased by 20 pounds (9.072 kg) in the first year, and the weight remained unchanged in the second year. The loss of calories only leads to a decrease in muscle mass and the strength of the muscle has not decreased. This means that limiting the absorption of calories can strengthen the strength generated by each unit of muscle mass. This is what is called "muscle specific force." Luigi Ferrucci, author of the research report and director of scientific research at the National Academy of Sciences, pointed out in the summary that reducing the absorption of calories by 12% is not much. It is quite gentle, and the reduction in heat is feasible, which can cause great different results for health.
The research team said that the restriction on calorie intake has the same effect on the aging mechanism of humans, mice, and breastfeeding animals. For example, after the absorption of calories is reduced, the inflammation gene is "locked", and the chance of inflammation in the body is reduced.
Fei Ruqi said that inflammation is closely related to aging, and limiting the intake of calories is a good way to prevent the body from being "prone to inflammation". Many elderly people are old because their bodies are prone to inflammation.
