Biologists from the University of Pennsylvania (USA) have talked about how much diet influences human aging.
According to experts, restricting food consumption affects the length of telomeres, which are a marker of cellular aging.
The scientists published the results of their research in the scientific journal Science Daily .
The article states: "We found that longer telomeres are a sign of younger age."
The principle of aging
Researchers conducted an experiment that showed that cutting calories did not cause telomeres to shorten.
On the contrary, this process slowed down significantly.
The biologists emphasized: "We found a surprising pattern. People on the diet experienced a slowdown in telomere loss."
It was previously reported that it is possible to drink coffee and tea instead of water .
