Prolonging Life Span!!!

Stephanie_skinny

So today as I am reviewing for my Medical Board Examination I came across this topic and I just had to share.

The most effective way to prolong life span (of our cells) is my reducing calorie intake. When we restrict caloric intake we induce a family of proteins called Sirtuins. Sirtuins facilitate expression of genes decresing apoptosis of cells.

So we are not only losing weight but we are also in a way prolonging our life span. Way to Go!!! MFPs!!!! :happy: :happy: :happy:

Thank goodness I get another chance tomorrow!
