 ===Mechanisms===
 Caloric restriction is believed to impact aging through several biological pathways. These include reduced metabolic rate, decreased oxidative stress, improved insulin sensitivity, and activation of cellular maintenance mechanisms such as autophagy.
-===Research Findings===
-Studies in model organisms, like yeast, worms, flies, and mice, have consistently shown lifespan extension with caloric restriction. Human studies, however, are more complex due to longer lifespans and ethical considerations.
