Cutting just 300 to 500 calories a day from your diet could be the key to living longer, according to a new study. Studies have long shown that reducing calorie intake slows the aging process in rats and mice. A popular theory is that fewer daily calories decreases production of the thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T3), which then slows metabolism and tissue aging.
A new study, by St. Louis University researchers, found this hormone decrease occurs when humans regularly skip rich deserts or substitute a turkey sandwich for a Big Mac and fries.
Our research provides evidence that calorie restriction does work in humans like it has been shown to work in animals, said study lead author Edward Weiss, associate professor of nutrition and dietetics at the university's Doisy College of Health Sciences. The findings were published in the June issue of Rejuvenation Research.

Bankruptcy Predicted to rise in 2008
Electronics and energy are seen as high-risk industries.
More U.S. businesses are likely to hang " going bankrupt " signs on their doors this year as the twin blows of slower economic growth and pricy cmmmodities force the weakest companies to seek refuge from creditors, according to Global Insight.
This year, industries at risk for the biggest increases in Chapter 11 filings include electronics makers, enery miners like coal companies and agriculture companies, Global Insight said.
Makers of durable goods like machinery also are more at risk and likely will contribute to 13 percent rise in bankruptcies in 2008, says the research firm.
