Researchers from Denmark found that saturated fat diet is very effective in the fight against diseases caused by aging. Scientists analyzed mice have defects in their DNA recovery system. People like defect is rare genetic disease called syndrome Cockayne Which is characterized by mental retardation, atrophy optic nerve, dwarfism and premature aging .

It turned out that fat diet   delays manifestation characteristic signs aging . such as hearing loss or weight loss. Furthermore, the delay aging   in the brain provides a powerful prevention of such diseases as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

The scientists hope that their discovery It will form the basis of new treatments for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

"This is great news for Cockayne syndrome children, as at the moment we do not have effective treatment for this disease, - says study author Professor Wilhelm Bor. - Our findings suggest that fat diet delays the age processes.
