A latest research which has been published by the British Medical journal Website has pointed out that people who are on the Mediterranean diet have chances for having a longer life.
According to this study, a person who is living on more fruits, vegetables, nuts, pulses and olive oil and drinking moderate amounts of alcohol along with limited amounts of meat is linked to a longer life.
This study was the first to examine the importance of individual components of the Mediterranean diet.
Professor Dimitrios Trichopoulos who belongs to the Harvard School of Public Health conducted a survey of over 23,000 men and women. These people were given dietary and lifestyle questionnaires. Their diets were rated from 0 to 10 based on the level of conformity to a traditional Mediterranean diet.
The study has found out that exclusion of high intake of vegetables and low intake of meat along with moderate alcohol intake leads to the benefits of Mediterranean diet to be lowered.
