Abstract
Calorie restriction has been the subject of research and studies for years. Although calorie restriction is a broad definition; the way, time, amount and situations of restriction are very important. While restricting, carbohydrate, fat and protein balances should be well evaluated. However, this restriction shows various positive effects when done under suitable conditions without causing malnutrition. With calorie restriction, the production of free radicals and the oxidative stress they cause are reduced. In addition to medical treatments applied in common chronic diseases; as an alternative method, it is seen that improvements in vital functions occur with the necessary calorie restrictions specific to the disease. Maintaining health throughout life is only possible with a balanced diet, regular and continuous exercise program. Nutrition is an issue that needs attention in every period of life. It should not be forgotten that one of the most important key points in living a long and healthy life is nutrition. Therefore, the purpose of this review; is to draw attention to some beneficial effects of calorie restriction, as a topic that is still up-to-date and researches, by giving examples from studies.
