Aging is bound to happen to everyone. However, it turns with a low calorie diet, this aging process can be slowed. How?Aging on the body's cells is associated with the shortening of telomeres. Telomeres are the ends of DNA that keep the cells alive. Naturally, the body's cells would have cleavage to regenerate. However, unfortunately, each time experiencing division, the telomere will be getting shorter. If at some point, this shortening process occurs continuously, cell death will be quick with the result that shorten a person's age. The shorter the telomere is also associated with an increased risk of old diseases such as dementia or senility becomes 100 times larger and higher death rates from cancer and heart disease.
Inside our bodies, there is a telomerase enzyme that helps to elongate the telomere ends back so that the cells remain alive. However, unfortunately, the increasing age of the amount of enzyme will also decrease. Stress that we experience also led to decreased telomerase activity and telomeres shorten more rapidly.
A study published in Rejuvenation Research in 2009 proved in his research that the decrease in body weight and amount of fat with low-calorie diet in men who are obese is associated with increased telomere length. In the study, demonstrated that people with weight loss and fat mass at large have the greatest increase in telomere length. So the study concluded that people who do low-calorie diets produce weight loss that affects telomere length and decrease DNA damage.
Another study in The Lancet Oncology provides the results that the people who make lifestyle changes by eating low-fat diet (low-fat diet) and walk at least 30 minutes each day has increased telomerase activity and telomere length. In addition, good stress management is also important, because in these studies, evidence that in addition to the low-fat diet and regular exercise, lower stress levels can help to increase telomere length .Calories we asup daily may come from carbohydrates, proteins and fats. According to the study, by limiting the calories we eat everyday will affect the increase in telomere length that will extend the life and old age. Therefore, it helps us begin to live a healthy life by keeping food consumption, exercise, and manage stress in order to live healthier longer.
