A new study published in the Sept. 6, 2018 issue of Cell Metabolism revealed that increasing time between meals made male mice healthier overall and live longer compared to mice who ate more frequently. Scientists from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) at the National Institutes of Health, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, reported that health and longevity improved with increased fasting time, regardless of what the mice ate or how many calories they consumed. National Institute of Aging Director Richard J. Hodes, M.D. stated that this study showed that mice who ate one meal a day thus, had longest fasting period lived longer and had better outcomes for common age-related liver disease and metabolic disorders.
