Can a Really Strict Diet Prolong Your ‘Health Span’?

Bangor Daily News · February 27, 2017

Cutting back on calories and dropping a few pounds would help most of us feel better. But researchers have known for nearly century that drastic caloric restriction can actually delay the aging process and lead to a longer, stronger old age. While the effect of dietary restriction has been studied and confirmed in species ranging from the simple c. elegans roundworm to much more complex animal models, the precise molecular mechanisms that govern it have largely eluded identification. Now, a sc…

MDI Biological Laboratory Research Uncovers Mystery of Why Diet Can Prolong Lifespan

Mainebiz · January 25, 2017

Diets can prolong health and lifespan, but scientists haven’t known why until now, when researchers at MDI Biological Laboratory discovered a genetic pathway that explains the process. The hope is that one day it may lead to therapies that could extend our healthy years without requiring severe dietary restrictions.
