Longer Life and Specific Foods In Mediterranean Diet

 

Fruits-and-vegetables

No matter how much research you conduct and how many subjects you include for your study and how prestigious or obscure your university is, the results are always same, those damn green vegetables which your grandmothers never failed to remind you to eat. What our grandparents knew the secretes without any Harvard professor telling them with his scholarly findings. I have omitted the current crop of mothers. They seem a bit different. When I see a metro mom, it looks they are raising a pizza burger generation who comes out shivering from a swimming pool after half an hour when the allotted time slot is one hour. 🙂

What the study claim is:

Professor Dimitrios Trichopoulos at the Harvard School of Public Health explains that they have surveyed over 23,000 men and women who were participants in the Greek segment of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC).

Eating more vegetables, fruits, nuts, pulses and olive oil, and drinking moderate amounts of alcohol, while not consuming a lot of meat or excessive amounts of alcohol is linked to people living longer.

  2. Another thing to wonder is whether people who prefer green vegetables and fruits have a different attitude towards life. Like, do they have healthy habits in general, are they more inclined towards a relaxed outlook?
