Reduction of intrarenal and arterial AGE accumulation by food restric
tion was confirmed by immunostaining in optical microscopy
Age-related changes in arterial and kidney structures as polyuria
and proteinuria were mainly prevented by food restriction. These
data indicate that chronic food restriction reduces the accumula
tion of AGE and preserves the structure and function of the rena
and cardiovascular systems in lean rats, although it did not affec
survival of the animals between 10 and 30 mo.
Well, it seems logical that not eating lots of AGE-rich cooked-foods for long periods would give the body time to get rid of the accumulated toxins.I doubt it's as simplistic as that Dear TD -\ or maybe it is ;)
The catch with caloric restriction is that people and animals who practice it over long periods tend to feel things such as diminished sexual function, general tiredness, muscle-weakness etc, so that the benefits tend to be outweighed by the consequences. The best approach is Intermittent Fasting which some studies seem to indicate gives most or all of the benefits of caloric resriction without the disadvantages.
Perhaps we aren't supposed to be fraking like bunnies in the first place. As far as I know, both methods have some good info backing them up. As you probably know there are several diet versions out there already, but still we are experimenting as we go.
Who knows, maybe that'll be my New years Resolution! To quote Panda "I eat when I'm upset" WHAAAA!!!!
Merry Christmas everyone!
