        most documented method for increasing lifespan in animals is
        through caloric restriction (CR). Scientists have known for decades
        that if they cut out a third of the normal diet (caloric content)
        fed to rats, worms, yeast and other organisms, the animals live
        longer. More recent studies with primates are demonstrating effects
        similar to those found with rodents </FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://juvenon.com/jhj/vol1no01.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/juvenon.com/img/AF7F42F9-B919-4D73-ABA9-DDFAC74DC50F" alt="The overall effect of caloric restriction is to redirect the cell from non-essential activities and focus it on those most important fo rmaximunm health and longevity." /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://juvenon.com/jhj/vol1no01.htm"><FONT size="-1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">This
        method has not been reliably tested in humans, and besides, few
        among us want to live in a constant state of hunger. What then,
        is the significance of this research? What promise does it hold
        for those of us who want to do the right things to live a long,
        healthy, active life?</FONT></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/23305766-2ACA-41A1-88F8-6689EE6BFF31/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
