Decrease your #insulin levels, increase your life span. #CBHealthNY

Researchers have long known that people who reduce their insulin levels either through exercise or calorie restriction ten to live longer than people with higher insulin levels. For example, studies show that centenarians tend to have lower insulin levels than people who die earlier, and their cells tend to be more sensitive to the hormone’s effects. High insulin levels have been shown to speed the aging rate of cells and tissues throughout the body. When insulin levels remain low, cells more easily fight off age-related diseases such as cancer, dementia and stroke.
