Can cutting just 250 calories a day change your life? According to a new study, it absolutely can. Researchers found that older adults who reduced just one snack’s worth of calories daily — about 250 — saw major health improvements. From weight loss to lower blood sugar, cholesterol, and inflammation, the results were life-changing. And it didn’t even matter which healthy diet they followed — DASH or MIND — it was the calorie cut that made the difference. This tiny tweak could help fight heart disease and diabetes, even in your 60s, 70s, or 80s. WooGlobe Ref : WGA381932 For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com

00:00What if skipping just one snack a day could protect your heart and prevent diabetes?

00:04Turns out, it actually can.

00:07In a major study from Rush University, over 500 adults aged 65 plus were tracked for three

00:12years.

00:14They were asked to follow one of three diets, dash, mind, or a typical Western diet.

00:19But here's the twist.

00:21The real game-changer wasn't the type of diet.

00:23It was cutting just 250 calories a day.

00:26Just the same as a candy bar, a blueberry muffin, or three eggs.

00:30This tiny change led to huge results.

00:33People who lost 10% of their body weight saw lower bad cholesterol, reduced blood sugar,

00:38and a 54% boost in adiponectin, a hormone that fights inflammation and improves insulin response.

00:45Even those in their 70s, where weight loss is tougher, showed major improvements.

00:50And the specific diet didn't matter.

00:52It was simply about eating a little less.

00:55Every day.

00:56Next time you're eyeing that extra snack.

00:58Remember, 250 calories less a day could be the secret to a longer, healthier life.
