MONKEY FACTS
"Caloric restriction (CR), without malnutrition, delays aging and extends life span in diverse species; however, its effect on resistance to illness and mortality in primates has not been clearly established." Which is science geek meaning skinny monkeys live longer according to a new report. The old joke is of course life just seems longer. The research adds to what is already known. It's not enough to just be healthy long life comes from being thin. The LA Times headline is: "Permanent diet may equal longer life."
Skinny Bitches
While you and Mo'Nique might think "Skinny women are evil!" They live longer and save us taxpayers "mucho dinero" according to the California group and Public Health Advocacy. We don't just mean in public transportation space either nor does that mean you get to be mean to the big and heavy. Just that every unhealthy person costs us cash in the long run.
Eat rapamycin when old and live longer
Finally there is a wonder drug for the elderly who are next to but not near dead. On the basis of age at 90% mortality, rapamycin led to an increase of 14% for females and 9% for males. For the hows and the whys you'll have to spend big money to NATURE magazine unless you're a member. Remember we did say for the ELDERLY!
There's always a catch. We give you the catch they give you hook!
