There's a long trail of evidence over the last century showing that calorie restriction can extend lifespan, including studies in fish, mice, rats, worms, flies and monkeys. But it wasn't really clear why starvation led to a longer life. You look at nearly every single animal species. If you restrict its calories across its lifespan, you can extend overall lifespan and maintain health later into life. Now, this is very difficult to translate into humans because it means basically starving yourself, not just for a brief period of time, but across your entire life.
