If you often eat three meals a day, you might as well try to starve yourself properly, because American scientists have further confirmed that hunger can prolong life.

Earlier, some scientists explained that hunger can lead to longevity: just as physical exercise can strengthen muscle cells, appropriately reducing eating is conducive to increasing the pressure on cells, so that cells can enhance their ability to resist external unfavorable factors.

Scientists at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in the United States have concluded through experiments on mice that appropriate starvation can "activate" a gene called SIRT 1, which can increase glucose metabolism and thus delay aging.

Scientists at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine recently found that when hunger appeared, the "Saite 1" gene was "activated" and was extremely active, which accelerated the metabolism of glucose. Because glucose can prevent the production of superoxide radicals, and ultimately achieve anti-aging effect.

Similarly, studies have shown that when worms and yeast are hungry, the "Seth 1" gene in their bodies can also play a role in delaying aging.
