That may not sound like much, but it\u2019s enough to lower mortality risk by 10-15%. The effects, they\u00a0report, were \u201csimilar to the effect of a smoking cessation intervention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Given that quitting smoking is about the best thing you can do for your health\u2014if you are a smoker\u2014that is high praise.<\/p>\n<p>The study, run by the U.S. National Institute of Aging, tracked how quickly the subjects\u2019 bodies were aging by studying changes in the DNA of the participants, and especially chemical tags called methylation marks, extracted from white blood cells. DNA methylation marks \u201cregulate the expression of genes and are known to change with aging,\u201d the study reports.<\/p>\n<p>The participants had an average age of 38. Some 70% were women, and 77% were ethnically Caucasian. The effects of calorie restriction on 128 subjects was compared to a control group of 69. The participants still ate healthy diets with all the important vitamins and nutrients\u2014just in smaller amounts.<\/p>\n<p>One of the problems with studies like these is that you can\u2019t just lock people up in a lab for\u00a0two\u00a0years and control what they eat. For the research project, those undertaking calorie restriction were given a month\u2019s worth of daily meals and meal plans to start them off, and 24 weeks of group and individual counseling. They were also monitored along the way for things like weight loss and body fat percentage.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers acknowledge the limitations. However, their analysis suggested that participants who stuck to the diet best and who cut the most calories, saw the aging slow the most. They suspect their findings represent \u201cthe lower bound\u201d of the benefits of dieting: In other words: if anything, the real world results might be even better.<\/p>\n<p>Two years is just a starter. \u201cDecades of follow-up will be required to determine if the\u2026intervention affected disease onset or lifespan,\u201d the researchers wrote.<\/p>\n<div id=\"cx-membership-tile\"><\/div>\n<p>But the latest study <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3705772\/\" class=\"icon none\">adds to the research<\/a> suggesting a link between cutting back on calories and living longer\u2014a link that has already been found to exist in multiple other species.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile in the U.S., and in much of the developed world, we are heading in the opposite direction.
