Do you want a true elixir of life? Simple, you need to eat less . Stop thinking that you can eat at will and stay in a healthy weight: more and more experts are joining the chorus in favor of the low-calorie diet, even abroad, while in Italy a supporter of the low-calorie diet as a useful tool to stay healthy. health and young people for a long time is the professor Umberto Veronesi . In fact, the problem is the sedentary life associated with an abundance of food, which translates into a sugary diet that is decidedly too energetic compared to our real needs. On the other hand, it is also a poorly nutritious diet, that is high-calorie because we eat a lot but qualitatively poor in the substances we really need. Here thenthat the solution that is increasingly reaffirmed as the best to stay healthy is to fill our plates less. In fact, people are becoming increasingly ill with obesity, three times more than our grandparents, according to The Lancet newspaper. We eat far too much, bearing in mind that we don’t have to go to work the land, but to the office.
The low-calorie diet not only allows us to lose weight or eat as much as we really need, but eating less allows us to live a long life: according to a study by the University of Glasgow published in  Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ,the low-calorie diet fights the risk of falling ill with serious diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, diabetes and cancer. But how, hadn’t we heard that calories don’t matter in terms of weight loss?
The researchers shake their heads. “In general, if you cut calories, you lose weight,” they said .
Caloric reduction matters, as this study in monkeys also showed : reduced the diet by thirty percent of the calories, the monkeys lived longer. The point is that the diet must not only be low-calorie, but also natural. In short, we must not eat 1500 calories of carré bread, we must eat 1500 calories of raw fruits, vegetables and grains, low-fat proteins and the right percentage of fat. Only in this way will we make our table a real elixir.
