Mr AI is not very keen on caloric restriction diets.<br>
He thinks it needs careful attention to be safe.<br>
<br>
===================<br>
Research on caloric restriction shows promise for increasing longevity<br>
in animals, but findings in humans are still limited and mixed. While<br>
some studies suggested that caloric restriction or fasting diets may<br>
promote better health and longer life, the benefits and risks of such<br>
diets are unclear, and adoption of very restricted diets can lead to<br>
malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies that can have negative<br>
impacts on overall health. Therefore, it's important to talk to a<br>
healthcare provider or a registered dietitian before starting a<br>
restricted diet to ensure that it meets your nutritional needs and is<br>
safe for you.<br>
In general, adopting healthy lifestyle habits such as regular<br>
exercise, consuming a balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight,<br>
and managing stress can have positive effects on longevity and<br>
overall health.<br>
