Starve Yourself

Scientists observed as long ago as 1934 that lab rats fed near-starvation diets lived much longer than expected. This effect was confirmed by an experiment carried out by R. Weindruch and others using mice in 1986. Since then nearly every species tested has given the same result. As long as the essential nutrients are given animals live longer on a diet that keeps them hungry but alive.

Now humans are trying it for themselves. The CR Society is a group of people dedicated to prolonging their lives by living on a reduced calorie diet. People who embark on this diet do exhibit many anti-aging effects, such as lower insulin resistance and reduced blood pressure.
Also, one of the longest-lived peoples in the world, the Okinawans, practice calorie restriction as part of their culture. Known as hara hachi bu, their custom is to stop eating before they are full, and they eat only about 1200 calories a day.
So, starve yourself to life? Maybe. How much you’ll enjoy that life without your favorite nibbles is another question.
