The heat of longevity: sex differences in lifespan and body temperature by Chiara Ruocco, Maurizio Ragni, Enzo Nisoli

“…Dietary restriction (DR) has long been recognized as a powerful intervention for extending lifespan and improving metabolic health across species. In laboratory animals, DR—typically a 30%–40% reduction in caloric intake—delays aging and enhances mitochondrial function, oxidative defense, and anti-inflammatory pathways. …”
