Evidence has shown that the Mediterranean diet is one of the healthiest diets on the planet. Now, a new study led by Immaculata De Vivo, associate professor at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and Harvard Medical School, has shown that following the Mediterranean diet may be the key to a longer life. Taking any diet rich in fruits, nuts, vegetables, beans and peas, unrefined grains, olive oil and fish, also a glass of red wine with meals, suppresses high proportion of saturated fatty acids to a minimum, and routinely following this diet could to some extend lead to a longer life expectancy. The researchers examined nutritional data from 4,676 healthy middle-aged women who participated in the Nurses’ Health Study and found that women who ate a Mediterranean diet had longer telomeres – the end of a eukaryotic chromosome, which consists of repeated sequences of DNA that protects the chromosome against gene loss and decay.

And as they shorten, there comes a greater risk of cancer, atherosclerosis, cardiopathy, and liver disease. Certain factors like obesity, smoking, drinking sodas have been found to accelerate shortening of telomeres, however as the new research suggests, the Mediterranean diet can decelerate telomeres shortening. The key components of Mediterranean diet such as olive oil, fish, and fruits are rich in antioxidants and have well-known anti-inflammatory effects. The researchers also examined whether the women who followed this diet had longer telomeres.

De Vivo said each one point change in diet score corresponded an average of 1.5 years of telomere aging. Telomere shortening is irreversible but healthy “lifestyle choices can help prevent accelerated shortening,” says De Vivo. So this is it. Following Mediterranean diet is the key not only to longevity, but also to reduced-risk of having major cardiovascular diseases and other chronic diseases. - Source(s): British Medical Journal [PDF], CNN - Image: Wayofliving.it

Mediteranska hrana je odlična za dugovječnost Ljudi koji jedu mediteransku hranu žive duže od onih koji to ne čine, zaključak je provedene znanstvene studije u kojoj su promatrane žene. One koje konzumiraju tipično mediteransko voće, povrće, mahunarke, ribu, maslinovo ulje, orašaste plodove, a piju i vino u umjerenim količinama imaju znatno veću šansu za iznimno dugačak život. Otprije je poznata da u mediteranskim predjelima ima jako puno ljudi koji dugo žive, a neki od njih prijeđu i jedno stoljeće života. Mediteranska prehrana je bogata antioksidansima, što je odlično za borbu protiv bolesti. “Prema našim saznanjima, ovo je najveća studija koja se bavila povezanošću mediteranske prehrane i dugovječnosti. Naši rezultati dodatno podupiru činjenicu da takva prehrana promiče zdravlje i dugačak život. Rezultati pokazuju i da je zdrava prehrana općenito iznimno važna za svojstva telomera” – rekli znanstvenici koji su provodili studiju. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo gotovo 4.700 žena. Otkriveno je da žene s većim udjelom mediteranskih namirnicama u svojoj prehrani imaju duže telomere što je ključno za dugovječnost. Studija isto tako dokazuje da je mediteranska prehrana kamen temeljac prevencije kardiovaskulranih bolesti koje su jedan od najčešćih uzroka smrtnosti. Zdrava prehrana ključ je prevencije i ostalih teških bolesti, a ona i daje energiju potrebnu za svaki dan te djeluje i na mentalno zdravlje. Među najbolje mediteranske namirnice spadaju plava riba i drugi plodovi mora te maslinovo ulje. Tu je i razno voće i povrće, kao i orašasti plodovi poput badema. Radi se o prehrani bogatoj svježim i sezonskim namirnicama. Ukoliko imate problema sa zdravljem ili se jednostavno želite zdravo hraniti mediteranska prehrana je odličan izbor, tim više što je nama pristupačna.
