Life Extension - Science Backs Up Warrior Diet

Well, here you have it…if only one can follow a famine-like, calorie restricting diet (read: Warrior Diet), then the sirtuins that switch our systems over from fertility to tissue repair can be activated and life extension become possible.

Before you start drinking huge quantities of red wine, simply follow the Warrior Diet and get the same benefit. Add the Tabata Protocol workout for fat loss, energy, cardio-vascular health and increased oxygen uptake, and you have a recipe for the fountain of youth!

Serious scientists have long derided the idea of life-extending elixirs, but the door has now been opened to drugs that exploit an ancient biological survival mechanism, that of switching the body’s resources from fertility to tissue maintenance. The improved tissue maintenance seems to extend life by cutting down on the degenerative diseases of aging.
The reflex can be prompted by a faminelike diet, known as caloric restriction, which extends the life of laboratory rodents by up to 30 percent but is far too hard for most people to keep to and in any case has not been proven to work in humans.
