Study Links Calorie Restriction to Longevity

A new study found that calorie restriction, rather than intermittent fasting, had the greatest impact on extending lifespan in mice.

The findings indicate that genetic factors and resilience to stress play crucial roles in how dietary changes impact health and longevity.
