New large -scale studies have traced people’s consciousness and health results from middle age to 70 years old. This is what they found.
advertisementAccording to the new analysis, eating a diet that is mainly a plant -based and a diet that skips red meat and processed foods is connected to better physical and mental health in old age.
This study is JournalIn the United States, about 105,000 people have been tracked for up to 30 years.
We analyzed health results related to eight diet and eating habits, including the Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes olive oil, fish and nuts. This approach (dash) to stop olive oil, fish and nuts and high blood pressure (DASH) diet (DASH) restricts sodium and regulates blood pressure.
70 years old, the most healthy people’s diets included “medium” levels of animal foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, unsaturated fats, nuts, beans and beans and plants, and low -fat dairy products.
They avoided trans fats found in super processed foods such as sodium, sugar drinks, red or processed meat, often found in fried foods.
Marta Guasch-Perré, a senior author of the research and an associate professor who studies the relationship between the lifestyle factors and chronic diseases of the University of Copenhagen, said, “There may be no superfoods that can save us all, but there may be a diet that can improve your health.
She added that the healthiest diet is “not suitable for one size.”
Less than 1 out of 10 is aging healthy.
The study of dietary therapy and health results is not new, but the author said that their analysis is one of the first analysis that meets other middle -aged eating habits in connection with healthy aging.
In this study, people were considered aging when they reached 70 years old under great chronic conditions and had good brain function and mental health and physical ability.
Guasch-perré said that compared to other studies of healthy aging, this is not a residence, but a more comprehensive view of considering the quality of life.
“We really want to live longer, or do you want to live better?” She said.
However, less than one in 10 people actually met the standards for healthy aging.
The study was done in the United States, but Guasch-Perré said the results would be maintained in Europe.
But there are several limitations in this study. Researchers have tried to consider factors such as socioeconomic status, but other issues such as genetics, environment and health care can also play an important role in diet health Nexus.
Nevertheless, Guasch-Perré said that this discovery can be used to adjust the guidelines and encourage people to choose a healthier meal.
