We may be one step closer in that eternal quest to find the fountain of youth. A new study suggests eating a Mediterranean diet might increase lifespan.
The findings, published in the journal AGE, show that elderly people who eat a Mediterranean diet — which is high in fish and vegetables and low in animal products like milk and red meat — have about a 20 percent increased chance of living longer compared with their non-Mediterranean-eating counterparts.
“This means in practice that older people who eat a Mediterranean diet live an estimated 2-3 years longer than those who don’t,” Gianluca Tognon, scientist at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, said in a statement.
The study was based on data from the H70 study in Sweden; the H70 study has gone on for more than 40 years in the Swedish region, and included thousands of 70-year-olds, researchers said.
There are many different types of diets out there that have helped people to lose weight or look a certain way, but few of them have been as rooted in our past and the evolution of human beings as the Paleo diet.
As one might expect, the diet revolves around providing food in the form that is closest to what our Paleolithic ancestors might have had. This is done in order to create an environment that is closer to what our bodies are able to handle. Nonetheless, it is important to see whether the Paleo diet is actually right for you.
What is the Paleo Diet?
The first thing to understand when contemplating any kind of diet is whether or not the diet is for you. If you find that is actually not worthwhile after finding out the specifics of the diet, that is better than trying to do something that makes you miserable. To understand the basics of the Paleo diet, you cannot eat anything that a hunter-gatherer would not have been able to find. This means that you will predominantly eat meat and vegetables with a decent amount of healthy fats as well.
Foods that are on the Paleo diet are typically higher in protein and fat and lower in carbohydrates. To get a lot of calories on this diet, you have to overeat by a lot or just have excessive meat. In most cases, it is not easy to get a lot of carbohydrates while on the Paleo diet unless you are eating dates, sweet potatoes, or bananas all day long. Most Paleo dieters do not even eat the bananas for this reason.
Many believe that diet and lifestyle are contributing factors to your health experience, but it is your genetics that will ultimately determine your fate. Some people even neglect their own nutrition, believing that their health in later years is already decided regardless of what they eat or how active they are.
However, new evidence suggests the determining force of our genetics is not absolute.
A study conducted at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University and the CIBER Fisiopatología de la Obesidad y Nutrición in Spain has yielded what looks to be a significant leap forward for nutrigenomics, or the study of how nutrition and gene function affect our health and risk of getting chronic and degenerative diseases.
The study followed 7,000 men and women over five years as they were given either a Mediterranean diet or a low-fat control diet and then monitored for cardiovascular disease, stroke and heart attack. Within the sample about 900 individuals had genetic variations that typically put them in a higher risk category for heart disease, which is usually preceded by type two diabetes.
Red meat has taken a lot of hits over the years. Once the obvious cornerstone to a nutritious diet, red meat finds itself stuck in an uphill battle for relevancy. This is largely due to the system from which most Americans by their meat. The factory farm system is riddled with safety issues, both to the animals and the workers. Animals are exposed to massive amounts of antibiotics. Eric Schlosser’s “Fast Food Nation” and the documentary, “Food Inc.” are damning illustrations of a food industry that feeds the public burgers contaminated with poop and cows with large visible holes, surgically implanted holes. There is a way to eat beef humanely and reap the benefits of a forgotten superfood, and that’s through the consumption of grass-fed beef.
According to an article in The Nutrition Journal aside from being significant source of the macro-nutrient protein, “red meat, regardless of feeding regimen, is nutrient dense and regarded as an important source of essential amino acids, vitamins A, B6, B12, D, E, and minerals, including iron, zinc and selenium.” This means even factory farmed meat has its benefits. If you’re worried about contaminants, Dallas and Melissa Hartwig, authors of It Starts With Food, recommend sticking to leaner cuts of meat, as poisons collect in the fattier portions.
