Life of mice in the study area, there is a very classic and well-known theory is that calorie restriction can extend life span of mice, (Caloric Restriction), namely, to reduce 1 / 3 of food, timing quantity to mice eating, will significantly improve the mice health and prolong their life.

Perhaps the reasons for learning Chinese Traditional Medicine origin, Food should be diet to 70% on it, is the ancient legend of the health proverbs, and the only right and proper and just. Then enter the Japanese Takeda of Kyoto University professor of aging biology labs, took over the management of SAM Mouse (Senescence Accelerated Mouse), feel hard to say that the lab mouse to eat less, is only just returning to normal food intake. Because in the laboratory cages, the mouse 24 hours is no shortage of food and water, while the nature of eating rodents, and there is grinding habits, and ultimately, too abundant.
