Eat less and live longer

It is mentioned in the Hadith: "Eat less you will be healthier."

Also,

"Nothing is worse than a person who fills his stomach. It should be enough for the son of Adam to have a few bites to satisfy his hunger. If he wishes more, it should be: one-third for his food, one-third for his liquids, and one-third for his breath." (Tarmazi, ibn Majah and Hakim)

Allah has mentioned in the Quran:

"O children of Adam! Look to your adornment at every place of worship, and eat and drink, but be not prodigals. Lo! He loveth not the prodigals." (Quran 7:31)

Now the research shows that if we eat less, its healthier and we will live longer. See the article on The Independant here.
