Restricting calories won’t just help you lose weight
Dietary restrictions can protect the brain from damage and slow down the aging process in the body, reports Nature Communications. Scientists from the Buck Institute have found a longevity gene that can be activated through diet. The OXR1 gene may promote healthy brain aging and prolong life. It protects cells and prevents neurological disorders.
The OXR1 gene is activated by dietary restrictions. Overall calorie reduction and intermittent fasting may increase OXR1 levels. Studying this gene might potentially lead to new discoveries in the areas of brain health and longevity.
