Longevity Diet: Experts Reveal Grocery Cart Staples for a Longer Life
San Francisco, CA - Want to increase your chances of a long and healthy life? While there’s no single “magic formula,” experts overwhelmingly agree that diet and exercise are foundational. A new report reveals what leading longevity specialists are actually buying at the grocery store to support their own well-being and advise their patients.
“If you want to live longer, improve what you’re eating and start moving your body more,” says Dr. Linda Shiue, an internist and director of culinary and lifestyle medicine at Kaiser Permanente in San Francisco.
The challenge, however, lies in navigating the complexities of a healthy diet. Dr. Shiue emphasizes prioritizing “foods in their natural state, like whole grains, vegetables, fruits, fish, eggs and nuts.” This approach, she explains, naturally reduces consumption of “ultra-processed foods” – those shelf-stable items laden with refined carbohydrates and added sugars, such as white bread.
But knowing wich healthy foods to prioritize, and in what balance, can be difficult. world-today-news.com consulted three top longevity experts to uncover the staples consistently found in their shopping carts.
