Avoid overeating
The link between calorie intake and longevity currently generates a lot of interest.
Animal studies suggest that a 10–50% reduction in normal calorie intake may increase maximum lifespan
Studies of human populations renowned for longevity also observe links between low calorie intake, an extended lifespan, and a lower likelihood of disease
What's more, calorie restriction may help reduce excess body weight and belly fat, both of which are associated with shorter lifespans
That said, long-term calorie restriction is often unsustainable and can include negative side effects, such as increased hunger, low body temperature, and a diminished sex drive
Whether calorie restriction slows aging or extends your lifespan is not yet fully understood.
SUMMARY Limiting your calories may help you live longer and protect against disease. However, more human research is needed.
