Vegetarian Diet: Good for Longer Life · December 14, 2009

On Thursday December 3, 2009 the UK Telegraph published a report that said “reducing consumption of a protein found in fish and meat could slow the aging process and increase life expectancy, according to the research.

“Researchers have found that reducing calories by as much as 30 per cent could reduce risks of developing heart disease or cancer by half and increase lifetimes by nearly a third. The extreme diets – just above malnutrition levels – add an extra 25 years to the average life in Britain with the vast majority of people living to their 100th birthday.”

But in new studies, “scientists have discovered that simply varying the mix of amino acids in the diet affected lifespan.” By reducing one particular amino acid, methionine, which is naturally abundant in foods such as fish and meats as well as sesame seeds, Brazil nuts and wheat germ can increase lifespan. If experiments on humans turn out the same as with other species, avoiding high levels of methionine, such as in meat and fish should yield longer lives.

“Dr Matthew Piper, from the Institute of Healthy Aging at University College London, said that a vegetarian diet could be one way to achieve the effect.”
