Ilchi Lee's Health Tips

Many people who read up on inspirational tips to lose weight know that cutting back on calorie consumption is a mainstay in dropping excess body fat. Now, researchers believe that it may also help stave off a number of age-related conditions.

Study authors from the University of Gothenburg conducted both a laboratory and a cell trial in order to reach their conclusions. Both investigations supported the notion that restricting calories while maintaining a steady intake of vitamins and minerals appears to slow the aging process.

"We are able to show that caloric restriction slows down aging by preventing an enzyme, peroxiredoxin, from being inactivated. This enzyme is also extremely important in counteracting damage to our genetic material," says Mikael Molin of the university's department of cell and molecular biology.

Author and philosopher Ilchi Lee believes that overeating is one problem that has led modern society to its obesity epidemic, which harms the bodies and minds of millions. Staying healthy tips include eating only when one is hungry and getting plenty of exercise in order to keep the body free of harmful fat and toxins.
