THIS DIET HAS BEEN LINKED TO A LONGER LIFE-AGAIN
It's no coincidence that some of the world's populations with the longest lifespans live along the Mediterranean coast. The climate there ensures that foods like fruits, vegetables, olives, beans and fish are abundant, which are all rich in the antioxidants that can combat aging triggered by pollution and stress. They're also powerful fighters against the inflammation driving so many chronic diseases, from heart disease to cancer.
