Alternate day calorie restriction improves clinical findings and reduces markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in overweight adults with moderate asthma The concept of calorie restriction without nutrient restriction really intrigues me. While I have not used it clinically, the research supporting this type of approach is rapidly growing, and almost everything I’ve read is […]
Calorie restriction up-regulates the plasma membrane redox system in brain cells and suppresses oxidative stress during aging. Calorie restriction has a definite, positive effect on the functioning of mitochondria. This study adds to our understanding, and finds that CR also helps to increase the efficiency of the enzymes in the cell well of neurons that […]
Long-term low-protein, low-calorie diet and endurance exercise modulate metabolic factors associated with cancer risk I would be happy going on record that I’ve never been a fan of the high-protein type diets, feeling that short term weight loss is traded for long term health. These types of diets will kill you if you stay on […]
LIPID PROBLEMS? WHAT’S BETTER–CARB OR CALORIE RESTRICTION? Most importantly, we need to recognize (most) lipid problems for what they are–prediabetes. This is frequently glossed over and the patient is put on statins for high cholesterol (which will, ironically, increase the risk of diabetes!). So, if high triglycerides are found and the issue is prediabetes, it […]
Intermittent fasting effects on glucose metabolism, neuronal resistance to injury from calorie intake. One of the only well founded true “anti-aging” approaches out there is calorie restriction w/o nutrient restriction.Well, unfortunately, this approach is just not fun. Well, we may have an easier alternative. Alternate day fasting in mice appears to produce the same favorable […]
