Daniel Belsky, the Scientist and the author of the new research discussed that their reveal will essentially confirm that it might be possible to slow aging in humans.
A moderate decrease in calorie intake may actually slow the aging process, however slightly, claims
Daniel Belsky, associate professor of epidemiology at Columbia Mailman School and senior author of the research in question, has explained that, since calorie restriction can slow aging in creatures such as flies, worms, and mice, he and his colleagues wanted to see if the same method could slow "biological aging" in humans as well.
During the course of their work, the researchers examined blood samples taken from participants of the CALERIE (Comprehensive Assessment of Long-Term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy) trial that "randomized 220 healthy men and women at three sites in the US to a 25 percent calorie-restriction or normal diet for two years," according to a press release by Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health.
