Now, two recent animal studies on monkeys offer a possible explanation for how caloric restriction might possibly enhance human health and help extend life as well. One interesting aspect of this particular study is that neither the control monkeys nor the calorically restricted monkeys eat much fat or cholesterol as part of their diets. Therefore, the study demonstrates that even in non-obese monkeys, a reduction in calorie intake can benefit cholesterol and blood pressure. The second study showed that a 30 percent reduction in caloric intake resulted in higher levels of DHEA in the research monkeys. DHEA is a hormone that some people believe slows the aging process.
Medical science has yet to prove that in human populations.
Legendary contemporary designs by ATAS production designers, art directors, set decorators, costume designers and supervisors are on display at the Central Library until October 16. Exhibits feature sections of full sets used in television series, scale models of other sets, photos and costumes. Those who grew up with these generational shows are hoping that someone will capture these moments in television history into a coffee-table book, just in time for the holiday gift season. More Costly to Women Midlife and older women who have filed job discrimination suits generally receive just three-fourths the amount awarded to men. Here are just a few of the key findings from the study.
