Food remains one of the easiest and simplest joys in life, and it’s consistently coming at us in new ways, but it turns out that eating less might help your brain live longer. Like all things in life, this might present a less-than-exciting choice, but the science here, researched in Rome at the Catholic University of Scared Heart, is extremely interesting.
The researchers did studies on mice and discovered that CREB1 is a molecule that activates genes linked to longevity in the proper functioning of the brain. In other words, it activates genes that help the brain work well for longer, and they discovered that this molecule, CREB1, is activated by low caloric diets. via Dvice
