Mediterranean Diet is good for older people
Scientists at the Sahlgrenska Academy stated that a Mediterranean diet can prolong your life.
A Mediterranean diet that based on a high consumption of fish and vegetables and a low consumption of animal-based products such as meat and milk improves your health.
Scientists at the Sahlgrenska Academy researched whether a Mediterranean diet is effective in older people in Sweden or not. They compared older people at the age of 70 who eat a Mediterranean diet with those who have eaten more meat and animal products. Thousands of 70-year-olds in the Gothenburg region for more than 40 years took part in this research.
The results showed that older people who use a Mediterranean diet have a 20% higher chance of living longer.
Gianluca Tognon, one of the scientists at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, stated that older people who eat a Mediterranean diet live 2-3 years longer than those who do not.
Gianluca Tognon is from Italy, but moved to Sweden and Gothenburg specifically to collaborate with Lauren Lissner's research group at the Sahlgrenska Academy in order to research effects of the Mediterranean diet.
