Caloric restriction in combination with low-fat diet helps protect ageing brains
A low-fat diet in combination with limited caloric consumption prevents activation of the brain's immune cells called microglia in aging mice, shows research published Monday in Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience. The study also finds that exercise is significantly less effective than caloric restriction in preventing these age-related changes.
