With over 50% of the adult population in the UK currently classified as overweight or obese, accompanied by an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, finding more effective strategies to manage these conditions remains imperative. In 2016, World Health Organization (WHO) reported that more than 1.9 billion people in the world were overweight and over 650 million people were obese which has tripled in number since 1975. To date, the most robust intervention efficient in warding off the aforementioned cellular markers of aging is calorie restriction (CR) that involves the administration of a well-balanced, nutrient-dense diet that reduces calorie intake by 20 to 40% without malnutrition. It is the only non-genetic intervention that has consistently been found to extend both mean and maximal life span across a variety of species.
