How to live 60% longer

Yes, 60%! Researchers has found that cutting calorie intake with 30-40% will make organisms live up to 60% longer.

Let that sink in.
The life expectancy of an average American woman is 80 with a calorie restricted diet the life expectancy would be 128. 128 years old, while the average American man would have to settle with 120.

With researchers from all over the world searching for the path to anti-aging. These results are so important that we must ask ourselves; have we found it? Have we found the key to longevity?

The new longevity diet reduces insulin levels which makes the organism to go in to survival mode. In the survival mode the DNA repair improves which prevents cells from dying.

So how much should you eat?
Well, this is really about reducing insulin levels. Avoid food that contains fast, empty calories that give you a fast, short energy kick which raises your insulin levels really high. Such foods are:

• sugar
• white flour
• bread
• pasta
• noodles
• fast food
• dairy products
• tomatoes
• grapes
• dried fruit
• red meat
• duck

Instead eat:

• whole, rye or corn bread
• whole rice and millet
• broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and asparagus
• spinach
• avocado
• apple, berries
• pineapple
• salmon, tuna, herring, mackerel
• seeds, lenses, beans
• sprouts

We can’t really deny it, we are eating to much. So why not, eat less and live longer. There are many health benefits related to keeping staible insulin levels so even if you don’t make it all the way to 120+ I’m sure you’ll live longer, be healthier and lose weight in the process.

There are easy ways to cut your calorie intake. Instead of eat less all the time you can eat less once or twice a week.

And now to the best news!
The antioxidant resveratrol seams to have the same effect as a calorie restriction diet. Resveratrol can be found in whole grape skins, grape seeds, raspberries, mulberries and peanuts. It belongs to a family of compounds known as polyphenols, potent antioxidants which are known to combat damaging free radicals in the body. White tea is especially rich in the antioxidant polyphenol.

So what is the conclusion. Use antioxidants, eat foods that are low in fast sugar and calories and live a happy, healthy, slim life!
