After many studies and tests, calorie restriction shows that it can make the life of many organisms longer. Scientists put the test on monkeys. Starting just before puberty, they fed some of the monkeys about a third less of calories than the other monkeys. Then about 42 months later, researches monitored the immune systems of the monkeys and there were some major differences. The monkeys that were fed a regular amount of calories had aged much differently than the monkeys who were fed a third less.
Other researchers are thinking about cutting down the amount of calories in medicine and suggest that elderly people do not cut down on calories to reserve their immune systems.
