Calorie
Reduction Diet
Calorie
restriction, or CR, or CRON (Calorie Restriction Optimal Nutrition) is
a diet
more complex than other diets you’ll normally find around
which are of a
convincing “wow” nature. This is because CR is more
scientific, wherein even
bioscientists and already fit people are making it a basis for their
lifetime
eating habits. Why is this, you might ask amazed, since most of who
have
searched for dieting techniques are unhappy with their body or simply
want to
improve it? That’s because this calorie reduction
diet’s goal is not for a
better-looking body, it’s for something controversially known
as longevity.
Longevity
is
the attempt at lengthening a person’s lifespan.
What’s interesting about
calorie restriction is that overall, studies and experiments and
accidental
occurrences all come up with the same thing. Longevity can occur
through
calorie restriction. Calorie restriction has been described as almost
starvation, malnutrition, torture, etc. But it’s actually
just another diet
when a person intakes less calories and more vitamins and minerals.
It’s a healthier lifestyle
which is being
researched to hopefully (for bioscientists) lead to a conclusion that
the human
race can increase their lifespan by following this somewhat radical
diet plan.
Radical because it is difficult for most people since food is one of
the
pleasures of living. And depriving oneself of this pleasure can be
depressing
at times, even as some may describe, not worth living for. So far,
hypotheses
have shown that a lifespan after staying true to this diet can increase
by up
to 40%! This is explained through numerous accounts. Either by
Biosphere 2, a
project once ran by a group of people which resulted in unbelievable
outcomes.
They actually were using survival skills similar to our ancestors and
came out
of there healthier than before. Or by another experiment on animals
this time
(mice, rats, monkeys) showing that calorie restriction does indeed add
years to
life.
Living
overweight is unhealthy, that’s a given since fat cells lead
to chronic
inflammation and thus less years of life. Therefore going on this
calorie
reduction diet is said to make you lose weight as a bonus while
lowering risks
for illnesses significantly and living longer than average people in
the
process. It’s remarkable but not yet 100% proven. That is why
currently people
are taking the test, volunteers who wish to find out for themselves or
who
already believe in this calorie restricting theory.
How
does this work?
It is always wise to use caution when reading about diets, especially
one like
this calorie reduction diet, which maximizes your ability to control
and may be
hazardous to your health should you go about it the wrong way or have
certain
medical conditions not suitable for this diet in particular (diabetes,
high
blood pressure). Talk to your doctor first, as is advised when making
all other
big changes in lifestyle. But its basically about counting calories,
taking in
multivitamins, drinking more water than eating (survival skills), and
learning
to persevere after failure when gaining control in a diet.
