Zone Diet

Zone diet has been touted as an anti aging diet, as with it, one can achieve as much as 50% calorie intake reduction (page 76, "The Zone Diet" by Barry Sears), with feeling energetic and healthy.

The benefits of such restriction come in various forms according to research. One reason, according to Barry Sears, is that 90% of free radicals in the body are generated through the utilization of food.

Thus, the more calories we eat, the more free radicals we generate.

But the benefits of the Zone diet go beyond the calorie restriction aspects of the diet. It also aims to promote and keep a healthy balance (or, a target zone) of hormones (mainly insulin) and blood sugar in the body, which leads to optimal health.

In other words, the Zone Diet it is a special form of calorie restriction diet that should work to slow aging.

From his groundbreaking, original Zone Diet, Dr Barry Sears has extended his research deeper into the anti aging "zone", with adding meditation, relaxation, and exercise to the diet regimen in his book "The Anti-Aging Zone" (first published 1999).
