A low-calorie diet will slow cell mitosis, which in turn can retard aging - up to a point... Finding the right level of nutrition is work, but it has been seen that abstemiousness [a calorie-conservative or 'meager' diet] - seems to prolong life by making so-called 'lifestyle diseases' like Heart disease and Diabetes exceptionally rare; while diets high in calories and fat [especially fat] shorten the lifespan, and promote the fore-mentioned lifestyle diseases. Other diseases which may or may not be directly attributable to diet - like cancer - also appear to be somewhat mitigated by abstemiousness, especially with regard to free use of refined sugars, something that cancer tumors eagerly exploit.

What else can I help you with?
When does mitosis begin to slow down?
Mitosis begins to slow down during old age and as cells reach their Hayflick limit, which is around 40-60 cell divisions. As cells age, the efficiency and accuracy of cell division diminish, leading to a decline in mitotic activity.
Why would it be helpful in the treatment of tumors if medication that is designed to prevent mitosis in certain cells?
Medications that prevent mitosis can be helpful in treating tumors because they target rapidly dividing cancer cells, which rely on mitosis for growth. By inhibiting mitosis, these medications can slow down or stop the progression of the tumor, leading to its shrinkage or elimination. This can be an effective strategy in cancer treatment.
Is mitosis in plant cells slower or faster than in human cells?
Mitosis in plants cells is faster than in human cell because more localisated. When a human cell do mitosis as a part of all of her life cycle, a meristematic plant cell do only mitosis, without interphasis. So it is faster for plants to do mitosis
In which group of eukaryotic organisms does the nuclear envelope remain intact during mitosis?
The group of eukaryotic organisms in which the nuclear envelope remains intact during mitosis is known as closed mitosis. This is in contrast to open mitosis, where the nuclear envelope breaks down. Closed mitosis is observed in organisms such as fungi and animals.
How is meiosis I different from mitosis in terms of the number of divisions that occur?
In meiosis I, there is one division that occurs, while in mitosis, there is one division that occurs.

Both. The speedier one leave (evaporate) while the ones left behind slow down.
