Entering the new year, consider simple dietary tweaks for a longer life, says Harvard Public Health’s Dr. Frank B. Hu.
Four key dietary steps for longevity include:
Focus on Whole Foods:
Embrace diets rich in fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and legumes, much like the Mediterranean or Okinawan diets, to reduce chronic disease risks.
Reduce Processed Food Intake:
Ultra-processed foods dominate American diets and are linked to a 31% higher mortality risk. Dr. Hu advises minimizing their consumption.
