I found this blog that says calorie restriction slows down the aging process in humans
https://www.crvitality.com/
Is there any evidence of this /sci/? Is it worth doing to slow aging?

>live longer
>hungry the whole time
I’m sure it is true, it’s been proven in animal studies to say the least. But is living like that Bryan Johnson guy a life worth living? Perhaps if you have the wealth to make it less cumbersome.
It’s kinda strange we don’t have a simple automated solution to optimized nutrition at this point in our evolution. My Fitbit should be tracking my bio markers and the exact food I need for the week based on said results should be delivered automatically to my door. First world humans really shouldn’t have to be putting any thought or effort into having an acutely optimized diet.

I'm on a 1100-1400 calorie diet and it isn't causing problems for me.

There are no 300 pound elderly people. QED

works in mice and monkeys

>We sought to clarify the impact of dietary restriction (undernutrition without malnutrition) on aging... These findings show the profound anti-aging effects of dietary restriction and provide new information for optimizing restriction regimes.

>Caloric restriction—reducing the calories ingested by around 30% of that of a normal, fit individual—leads to substantial increases in life span in experimental animals. In an extensive study of caloric restriction in primates, Colman et al. (p. 201) report that rhesus monkeys, which were subjected to caloric restriction as adults and followed for the last 20 years, show decreased mortality and delayed onset of age-related diseases when compared to normally fed control animals. If compliance with such a diet were not so difficult, many humans would be strongly tempted to enjoy the decreased incidence of brain degeneration, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer apparent in this population of monkeys.
>Caloric restriction (CR), without malnutrition, delays aging and extends life span in diverse species; however, its effect on resistance to illness and mortality in primates has not been clearly established. We report findings of a 20-year longitudinal adult-onset CR study in rhesus monkeys aimed at filling this critical gap in aging research. In a population of rhesus macaques maintained at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center, moderate CR lowered the incidence of aging-related deaths. At the time point reported, 50% of control fed animals survived as compared with 80% of the CR animals. Furthermore, CR delayed the onset of age-associated pathologies. Specifically, CR reduced the incidence of diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and brain atrophy. These data demonstrate that CR slows aging in a primate species.

No, it's only because you end up eating less iron. Just restrict iron.

We absolutely do. People always settled at some reasonable diet, the obstacle is that selling healthy food is illegal.
