Recently on television I saw an elderly gentlemen advocating long life by eating less; 'sub-nutrition without malnutrition'.
Again in 'The Keys to Extraordinary Longevity' Dr. J. P Willem recalls the story from 'regimen for long life' recommended by Roy Walford, of a venerable Venetian in the 15th century, who at the age of 37 imposed on himself a Spartan diet after leading a dissolute and gluttonous life. It is said he lived to be 103!
The method Mr Walford tried on himself has proved its worth according to Richard Weindruch. It consists in 'sub-nutrition without malnutrition', based on knowledge and the scientific logic necessary to avoid errors. In the adult a reasonable low calorie diet could correspond to a 'daily intake of 1 gram of protein and half a gram of lipids per kilogram of body weight, adjusting the quantity of complex glucides to the desired global number or calories'.
Centenarians throughout the world planet restrict their diet, subjecting their bodies to acidosis - so protecting themselves from cancer, heart attack and infection. From day to day it can be seen that eating less improves the quality of life.'
Eating less and supplementing with glyconutrients is certainly a great suggestion. Mannatech Inc with Sam Caster the founder, is the world leader in glyconutrients which are necessary for optimal health and well being.
