CRON (Caloric Restriction with Optimal Nutrition)

CRON (Caloric Restriction with Optimal Nutrition) is a dietary approach where individuals reduce their daily calorie intake by about 20-30% without sacrificing essential nutrients. The goal is to promote health and potentially extend lifespan by minimizing metabolic stress and age-related damage, while still providing the body with all necessary vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. It emphasizes quality food choices to maintain nutritional balance, focusing on preventing age-associated diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. CRON aims to optimize healthspan—the period of life spent in good health—by carefully balancing calorie reduction with adequate nutrition.
