What results of diet and starvation?

Now, many are concerned about issues of starvation diets and their health. There is a craze for sport and healthy living. But some people in order to achieve the ideal figure, no longer controlling yourself to the extreme.


Let's think about whether you can put on one scale starvation diets and exhausting , but on the other - our health and longevity ? The answer is definitive - no. Since, as scientists have found, fasting and strict diet for a person are very harmful and even dangerous. Although previously it was thought that such a cleansing has a positive effect on the body and prolong life.


American scholar Mac Kay in the thirties of last century conducted experiments on rats, as a result of which he received an interesting result. If rats undernourish approximately 25% of their daily diet, then they will live twice as long - not 700, and 1400 days. experiments with ciliates shoe gave stunning results. If it is not limited in the diet, and she will eat as much as he can, it will live only 10 days. But if this single-celled organism to feed only 2 times a day, life expectancy has increased in 8 (!) Once and ciliate shoe survive 80 days.

These experiments could be the answer to all questions and even a new milestone in the history of the health of mankind. However, similar experiments conducted on monkeys, given an extremely negative outcomes. If these animals are hungry and malnourished they put the amount of food, then there was a sharp retardation of the central nervous system, almost stopped the growth and intellectual development. In addition, long-term diet effect on the rats, the appearance of violent aggression in relation to their fellows. If two hungry rats kept in one cage, they will necessarily eats each other. In history there were many instances of forced starvation and malnutrition in humans, by virtue of any circumstances. This has led mankind to diseases such as marasmus and kvashiokor (diseases that are caused by lack of daily energy and protein in the diet).


What conclusions can be drawn from all of the above? As in any other area in the diet do not need to go to extremes: to starve or overeat . The person needs to follow the rule of the golden mean in relation to food and eating sensibly. And then your body will thank you health and long years of happy life.
