How can you know that? Aging is poorly understood and only irregularly studied in humans. Anumal aging is even less studied partly because animals live so much shorter lives that they don't make good models for humans.

Nevertheless there are studies that claim that slowing your metabolism down by eating less will extend your lifespan. By everything I understand slowing your metabolism to 10% should slow all your metabolic processes proportionately and aging I a metabolic process.
