Eat and lift big to live longer
Seven-year study in mice suggests that longer life comes from higher metabolism, not lower
Mice with a high metabolism live longer than their low-metabolism counterparts, a finding that conflicts with a long-held theory of aging and suggests new approaches to extending lifespan.
The findings come from a seven-year study of mice by UK researchers from the University of Aberdeen, the Rowett Research Institute and the Medical Research Council in Cambridge
The researchers found that mice with the highest metabolic rate lived the longest, and their findings suggest that interventions could be used to mimic the effect and increase lifespan in humans.
