【Animal Modeling】-Hunger seems to be the source of youth? Fruit flies have already answered for us

     For the rest of the world, the main motivation for fasting is to satisfy their desire to maintain a perfect body. Not only are various health experts advocating fasting as a way to lose weight, but there is evidence that the benefits of fasting will be more obvious in the long run. According to the results of animal studies, fasting can extend the lifespan of many species, so researchers conservatively and optimistically speculate that the same results may apply to humans. Reducing feed can actually extend the life of animals. This counterintuitive observation has a long history. As early as 1935, scientist Clive McCay (Clive McCay) conducted a simple experiment. One group of experimental rats can eat any amount of food, while the other group of rats has a limited calorie intake. The result is amazing, but the second group with-rat is longer than the first group.

  Because of this groundbreaking experiment, Mackay’s experimental core has been repeated in different species of the biological evolutionary tree (including yeast, flies, earth, fish, mice, rats and monkeys). It is waiting. Hunger seems to be the root cause of youth, and this finding also applies to saving food.

  Since it was discovered in the 1990s that mice that bred every other day lived longer than mice that were bred every day, evidence of fasting continued to accumulate, and the information became clearer: other groups in the biota had less food, and the latter had a longer lifespan. long.

  "Less is more" (Lessismore) seems very correct. Professor Rosalyn Anderson of the University of Wisconsin said: "But we need to know the best." "You can live longer if you eat less, but this is without harming your body. One thing is likely to lead to death."
