Insulin Levels in the Brain:The Key to Long Life?
>
Low Insulin Levels in the Brain, best obained through regular exercise and diet, has been linked to longer life. Now scientists have replicated this observation by genetically engineering mice to have have increased insulin receptivity. The mice lived on average, 18% longer than others in a control group, despite putting on extra weight as a result of the introduced genetic condition.
Centenagarians often are observed to have lower than normal insulin levels in the brain, often a result of regular exercise of long duration...
