Do you know, if the insulin levels in the brain cells can be kept low, you can live a longer life? — And that too, a healthy one! Who would not want so?
But, the question arises, how to go about it?
No, for this, neither do you have to spend heavy bucks for any sort of treatment, nor go for any rigorous and drastic change in your body system.
The key to it lies in your daily lifestyle as well as your weight – these must be ‘healthy’. That’s all.
So, keeping the insulin level reduced is majorly in your hand and once proven to be successful in dictating the lifespan, will be one after the genes that can influence the span of one’s life.
Where it differs from a previous research, is that the previous one suggested reducing of the hormone insulin’s activity i.e. regulating blood sugar levels, can increase lifespan. But, in the present study, it is claimed that a protein — IRS2 — carries the insulin signal in the brain, which affect one’s lifespan.
Though the advice of eating healthy and exercising is no new a concept — coming from a mother’s advice book – this new finding would definitely draw many people’s attentions, who otherwise have always neglected eating habits and ignored exercising.
