According to US researchers, eating a Mediterranean diet may help live long life as it seems to keep people genetically younger. There is possibility that vegetables, fresh fish, olive oil and fruits may stop our DNA code from scrambling as human body ages. The study was published in the British Medical Journal.
Nurses who followed the diet had fewer signs of cell ageing. Over more than a decade, the health of almost 5,000 nurses was followed by the researchers from Boston. The Mediterranean diet has been frequently associated to health gains, like decreasing the risk of heart disease.
