>Calorie restriction for anti aging
Latest research shows that's it's not calories themselves, but specific nutrients that must be restricted, namely animal protein, which we did not evolve to eat as a staple, but as an occasional treat, as in eating a a bug here and there, not steaks and burgers. You can, for example, eat as many calories as you wish in the form of leafy greens, so go ahead, stuff yourself all day long, everyday.
Hunting and meat eating is a recent "hack" discovered by humans, and our bodies, forced to adapt to it, have as of yet not evolved much towards harmony with such a diet, that's why we keep dying from diseases brought upon us by modern diets. Let me put it this way: nomadic foraging peoples of Africa do not die of heart attacks, arteriosclerosis, or colon cancer.
