Headaches can be really painful, but something that most of us will suffer from at some point. One thing that is never thought about a lot is how headaches could be connected with diet. It’s not something that most of us think about, other than say when we get dehydrated or we’re having withdrawals from caffeine. Something I haven’t really given much thought to until now, but I’ve only had one headache that lasted for a day in the past two years of eating healthy and being on a CR diet. Although I did initially have one long-lasting headache when …

This is just an example of what I am currently eating on my CR diet. Sometimes I have fish, but not often. But this usually represents a typical day for me. Unlike most people, I really don’t mind eating the same thing day in and day out, because I enjoy the food that I eat! That being said, there is some variation in my diet: one day I might swap out sweet potato for carrots. I think if I ate both of those foods every day, I would become very orange from all the carotenoids in the food. My CR …

At the moment I am talking to a lot of my family and friends about life extension. Soon I’ll ask if they can contribute anything at all to the Mprize. If I manage to get the money, whatever it amounts to, I will be sending it off to the Mprize on Christmas. And hopefully, I’ll also be making a big donation too!

One of my main reasons for doing calorie restriction is because I want to live a …

If you’re wondering whether or not a low body temperature is a bad thing, well, here’s some interesting results! A study was published just the other day on mice that were engineered to have a lower body temperature than normal, but they could eat all they wanted during their lives. I’ve wondered whether or not a low body temperature is part of the reason why calorie restriction extends lifespan, and this research may show us an answer to that question. Calorie restriction works on many different levels to extend lifespan in different species. This particular study which was conducted found …

My name is Matthew Lake, and I will be sharing my experience as I practice my CR diet. I should probably tell you a little bit about myself… I live in Wales in the UK.  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 …
