Can we manipulate our diet to extend our life? Many researchers think so. Recent findings have demonstrated positive outcomes associated with restricting calorie intake in animals, including an extended lifespan and improved health. Some people have translated this to their daily lives, incorporating their own version of caloric restriction into their diet. The specific biological processes associated with caloric restriction continue to raise interesting questions as new research unfolds:
What are the differences between caloric restriction researched in animals and that practiced by humans?
What could caloric restriction mean for lifespan vs. good health throughout life?
What molecular pathways in the body show promise for intervention by mimicking caloric restriction?
Featuring presentations from leading scientists Luigi Fontana, MD, PhD (2009 BIG Award recipient) and Donald Ingram, PhD.
Journalists are invited to join us at this breakfast briefing. The event is free of charge, but you must RSVP to attend.
