Science has shown that diets that veer close to starvation can make everything from mice to monkeys live longer, USA Today reports.

But can such a strict eating regimen prolong human lives, and if so, would those extra years be healthy, happy ones?

Recent research from Washington University scientists found that people who slashed their calorie intake have lower core body temperatures than those who eat more.

Core body temperature is the temperature at which all of the functions in the body can operate at maximum efficiency, so the link looks like a positive one, according to some researchers. （點(diǎn)擊《今日美國》查看原文）

饑餓可以長壽？

???????據(jù)《今日美國》報(bào)道，根據(jù)對老鼠到猴子的動物實(shí)驗(yàn)研究，科學(xué)家得出饑餓、少進(jìn)食可以長壽。

???????如果這種嚴(yán)苛的飲食法則用于人類，那么人們是否可以多活幾年？如果是，他們延長的多活的日子是否健康、快活？

???????華盛頓大學(xué)研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，相比較于吃得多的人，那些吃得較少的人吸收熱量就會少，其核心體溫度會較低一些。

???????核心體溫是人體機(jī)能達(dá)到最佳運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)狀態(tài)的溫度，因此有些研究人員認(rèn)為低體溫與壽命更長有關(guān)。
