=== Reduction of Oxidative Stress === | === Reduction of Oxidative Stress === | ||
There are indications that oxidative stress is reduced by decreased food intake, thereby delaying primary aging. Primary aging is the process in cells and organs that defines the maximum lifespan in the absence of diseases (inevitable aging). Secondary aging is determined by external factors such as diseases, environmental factors, lifestyle, and physical activity (avoidable aging).<ref name="Tostlebe2005">M.
