Eat less and live longer! There is indeed a certain scientific basis! From 2065438 to 2008, a biologist conducted a two-year follow-up study on 73 volunteers aged around 40. 73 volunteers were divided into two groups, their calorie intake was controlled, and then their weight, body fat percentage, body hormone secretion level and DNA damage were compared and analyzed.
The experimental results show that the average body weight and body fat of the group with calorie restriction decreased by 16 kg, and the energy consumption, oxidation reaction and DNA damage were lower than those of the other group without calorie restriction, and the hormone secretion was more stable!
This shows that if people can continuously limit food intake and total calorie intake, they can not only effectively control people's weight, body shape and body fat rate, but also resist oxidation, enhance people's metabolism and delay the process of body aging.
How to eat to live longer? Although limiting food intake and total calorie intake can delay aging and be beneficial to health and longevity. However, limiting intake does not mean not eating! In daily life, how to eat and drink can be the most beneficial to the health and longevity?
First of all, the intake of nutrition should be comprehensive and balanced, that is to say, staple food, vegetables, fruits, meat, milk and eggs should be taken in moderation. Secondly, according to the residents' dietary nutrition pagoda, the daily staple food intake of adults is 300 ~ 500 g, which is about equal to two small bowls of rice, including all staple foods such as noodles, rice, steamed bread and bread.
The intake of vegetables should be controlled at 400~500g, the intake of fruits should be controlled at 200~350g, slightly lower than that of vegetables, and the intake of meat should be controlled at 50-75g, eggs at 25-50g, milk and dairy products at 300g, oil at 25-30g and water 1200ml.
In addition, eat more than three kinds of vegetables and fruits every day. Only in this way can we ensure comprehensive and balanced nutrition and avoid insufficient energy intake and malnutrition while limiting calorie intake!
In a word, people should pay great attention to healthy diet and limit calorie intake, and properly mix meat, eggs, milk, vegetables, fruits and staple foods to ensure balanced and comprehensive nutrition. In addition, when eating, you should chew slowly, don't wolf down, just eat about seven minutes full every meal, and don't overeat. Only in this way can it be beneficial to the body, delay aging, and live a long and healthy life!
