Cutting calories can help people live longer, feel better, and has been linked to lower risks of cancer. Reducing caloric intake in mammals has led to those mammals’ body temperature dropping. When the body temperature drops, it is a sign that the body is conserving energy. Most of our caloric intake goes to maintaining our core body temperature. While calorie restriction can be beneficial, there are also side effects that can counteract the positive effects.

Key Takeaways:

• Calorie restriction has been a long time coming from Professors Bruno Conti, PhD who has been documenting evidence for years.
• They did a recent experiment using mice by making sure that temperature could not be easily changed without considering nutrition.
• They used activity metabolomics to see how the metabolism changed depending on the climate that the mice were placed in.

“One consistent observation is that when mammals consume less food, their body temperature drops.”
