Caloric Restriction and Lifespan
- Caloric restriction has impressive effects on diseases like diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular issues.
- However, long-term caloric restriction can have downsides and doesn't always extend lifespan.
Monkey Caloric Restriction Studies
- Two major caloric restriction monkey studies showed increased healthspan, but not always lifespan.
- The Wisconsin study, with a less ideal control diet, showed a lifespan increase, unlike the NIA study.
Ketogenic Mode and Caloric Restriction
- Caloric restriction may cause a minimal switch to ketogenic mode, depending on individual and diet composition.
- High vegetable protein intake during caloric restriction may block this metabolic switch.
