New York (Net News) A new study has found that consuming fewer calories can prolong life span.
In the study, about 1,000 genetically different mice were fed one of five different diets.
The study found that mice that were fed without restriction lived an average of 25 months, while mice that were fed after intermittent fasting lived an average of 28 months.
Mice that ate 80 percent of the recommended daily calorie intake lived for 30 months, while those that ate 60 percent lived for 34 months.
While the mice that consumed the fewest calories lived anywhere from a few months to 4.5 years.
