UCSF Researchers Study Extreme Dieting
SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) — UCSF researchers are trying to find the affects of extreme dieting in humans. Animals who consume fewer calories in some cases are living longer and healthier lives according to the study, but can the same be stated for humans?
Eating less than 1,600 calories or less a day is considered a qualified extreme diet and people have been doing it for years. UCSF researcher Dr. Janet Tomyana stated taking part in such a practice may actually help prolong your life.
“What makes the study so unique is that for the first time we are really looking at this question whether consistent calorie restriction in humans prolongs a healthy life,” stated Tomyana.

UCSF Researches if Extreme Dieting Helps Us Live Longer
Apparently it’s worked with non-humans. Tomyana stated some worms that would normally live up to 14 days, would live up to 40 if you restrict the number of calories that worm eats.
Research shows people who do extreme dieting often are sharper, have greater impulse control and less stress. But UCSF is still searching for the fountain of youth and to find out if they live longer?
