I am seriously considering this. I feel that my dietary habits have always been a journey and this is the next leg.
It is not that I want to live longer but I want to live better.

Sorry guys. That was the wrong link. Here are some interesting ones.

Here are a few really important studies that came out over the last few years from WUSTL;

Yep, that's because calorie restriction reduces insulin and inflammation, which according to the latest research could be a major factor in causing heart disease and stroke.

A low-glycemic load diet can do both without the need to starve oneself and risk deficiencies of important fat-soluble vitamins.
