caloric restriction
Limiting food intake
Caloric restriction is the practice of reducing food intake below typical levels while maintaining adequate nutrition, usually to promote longevity or health benefits.
Research on animals has shown extended lifespans with sustained caloric restriction, though human applications remain debated: She's been practicing caloric restriction for years, eating about 25% fewer calories than average.
