Calorie restriction and fasting helps to prevent cancer and tumours

Researchers at University Of Alabama at Birmingham have shown that calorie restricted diets specifically restriction in glucose can help human beings by increasing the life of cells. The finding is published online in FASEB journal which can lead to restriction of aging and prevention of cancer. Such type of calorie restriction can also lead to control of age related diseases. To carry out this study, researchers used human lung cells and precancerous human lung cells that were at the beginning of cancer development. The cells were grown under laboratory environment and were given normal or reduced level glucose.
