    Low calorie diet and longevity

    Eating less calories slows down the metabolism. The thinking is, slower metabolism = longer life. I have always been suspicious of diet supplements that 'speed up' the metabolism cause it is speeding up the heart rate. Exercise is one thing, but to speed up the heart rate with drugs...I dunno. Never sounded like a good idea to me.

    Of course tomorrow is never promised. We can work out and look great and then one day our 'number' could be up, or be dx'd with an incurable disease. So I try to keep my health along with other things in my life, i.e. relationship, etc. in perspective.
