> (2) protein restricted diet slows down aging.

Protein/calorie restricted diet is observed to slow down aging in rats in laboratory conditions, i.e. which make no other changes to their presumably sedentary lifestyles.

Protein restriction in humans is only recommended if you have some chronic kidney disease. If I remember right, most people don't consume enough protein to need to restrict in this case either.
