An American study revealed that following a low-calorie diet increases the average life span.
The Express website quoted the study conducted by researchers at the University of California, USA, as saying that eating small amounts of food positively affects the life of cells, which can help extend life by reducing inflammation and delaying the onset of age-related diseases.
The researchers confirmed the decrease in the incidence of inflammations in the cells of fat tissue, liver, kidneys, aorta, skin, bone marrow, brain and muscles among the study samples that followed a calorie-restricted diet, while infections increased in those who followed a normal diet.
The study showed that the increase in inflammatory response during aging can be systematically eliminated by restricting calories recommended by a certain number of calories during the day, which is 2000 calories for women and 2500 for men.
