A Russian nutritionist explained that a healthy and correct diet helps to live up to 100 years.
Dr. Vasilisa Panomaryova, a Russian nutrition expert, pointed out that following a healthy and correct diet, as in the “blue zones” (the Blue Zone is a new term to identify the few regions in the world that are characterized by long-lived populations compared to the average lifespan in the rest of the world) helps. To increase the average life expectancy by 13 years, that is, to live to 100 years, as reported by the newspaper “Russia Today”.
“We have confirmed that a healthy diet can positively affect longevity and health,” she says.
The expert refers to scientific studies that took place in regions of the world that are characterized by the longevity of their population, as they maintain good health longer than others. What is meant here are the “blue zones” from Okinawa to Sardinia and from Nicoya to Ikaria, whose inhabitants consume large quantities of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes.
According to her, these particular foodstuffs are rich in nutrients that reduce the risk of health problems such as heart disease and stroke.
And she adds: It is important here not only to add these healthy foodstuffs to the diet, but also to avoid eating harmful foods as well.
“It turns out that people in the ‘blue zones’ don’t consume a lot of meat, dairy products, refined sugar, and processed foods,” she says.
And she adds: “In general, the diet of the residents of the “blue zones” depends on plants, and in particular on legumes, as a primary source of protein.”
