Calorie restriction works on many different levels to extend lifespan in different species. This particular study which was conducted found …

I’m currently a student and studying science in college, with the hopes of attending medical school after I finish. My second option would be going into biomedical science and then going into the field of aging to develop therapies which reverse aging. A few years ago I came across a guy named Aubrey De Grey – he’s awesome! He’s such an amazing guy for getting the …
