A biologist friend once told me the following: if you want to slow down aging, eat less. Every time your cells divide, mistakes are made. These mistakes accelerate as as you age. If enough mistakes are made, it results in cancer. If you want to slow this process down, eat less.

If you follow that to its logical conclusion, eat nothing and you'll live forever.
