A short-term caloric restriction diet enhanced a DNA repair process known as non-homologous end joining. These results may partially explain how caloric restriction and similar diets increase lifespan and healthspan in a wide range of organisms. Eat less, live longer Caloric restriction – that is, reduced caloric intake without malnutrition – is one of the...
