It not only helps to lose weight.
Consumption at an early age food low protein can have a positive impact on life expectancy. To such conclusion scientists from the University of London Francis Crick.
In their work, biologists have used fruit flies, genetic disease of which two-thirds coincide with the human. Individuals in youth receiving food with a minimum protein content, lived twice longer than their counterparts.
According to scientists, these results can be explained by the lipids secreted by the skin. When the diet is high in protein, these compounds have a high toxicity and worse protect against substances that accelerate aging. In addition, the researchers claim that the lipids secreted by the fruit flies that affect the life expectancy of their neighbors, the flies living in containers with a large number of relatives dying early. However, this pattern does not apply to Drosophila with genetically modified release of lipids.
“People, as well as Drosophila, secrete lipids, which moisturize and protect the skin from everyday exposure to the environment. But they can also incur damage, reacts with sunlight and other stress factors, which leads to the formation of harmful chemicals that accelerate aging,” explained one of the study’s authors, Dr. Alex Gould.
Previously, scientists from the University of Pennsylvania found that regular intake of ceps will allow you to preserve youth, since they contain antioxidants rich in ergothioneine and glutathione.
