TO age well, a new study suggests skipping the fried and sweet foods, red meat, refined grains, and high fat dairy products found in a so-called "western" diet and opting for something a little healthier.
Researchers found that eating too much fatty and processed foods reduces your likelihood of reaching your golden years in glowing good health. Announced recently, study results appear in the May issued of The American Journal of Medicine.
"The impact of diet on specific age-related diseases has been studied extensively, but few investigations have adopted a more holistic approach to determine the association of diet with overall health at older ages" says lead investigator Dr Tasnime Akbaralyof INSERM, a biomedical and public health research institution in Montpelier, France.
A better diet option?
Research recommends the Mediterranean diet rich in olive oil, nuts, fruits and vegetables along with wine can reduce your rick for cardiovascular problems, while another study suggests that eating a Mediterranean diet along with regular exercise, not smoking, and maintaining a healthy weight could add 15 years to a women's life, or 8.5 years to a man's.
