Longevity Diet: Expert Franco Berrino Highlights Legumes,Whole Grains & Bitter Vegetables
Milan,Italyโ – november 28,2025 – Renowned Italian nutritionist Franco Berrino hasโ identified a core dietary pattern linked to increased longevity: a focus onโ legumes,whole grains,and particularly,bitter-tasting vegetables like chicoryโค and radicchio. Berrino’s research, continually updated and refined, underscores the power of plant-based foods in promoting health and extending โฃlifespan, offering a practicalโฃ guide โคfor individuals seeking to proactively improve their well-being.
The emphasis on thes food groups isn’t โขa fleeting trend, but a return to traditionalโข Mediterranean eating habits observed in โ”Blue Zones” – regions globally where populationsโ consistently live longer, healthier lives. As chronic diseases continue to rise and healthcare systems face increasing strain, understanding โand implementing these dietary principles becomes increasingly vital. berrino’s work provides actionable insights for individuals, healthcare professionals, and policymakers alike, possibly impacting public health strategies and personal lifestyle choices.
Berrino’s recommendations center on the nutritional density and bioactive compounds found in these foods. legumes, such โขas lentils โคand beans, are โrich in protein and fiber, โฃcontributing to satiety and stable blood sugar levels. Whole grains,unlike their refined counterparts,retain their bran and germ,providing essential vitamins,minerals,and fiber.
however, it’s โฃthe inclusionโ of bitter vegetables that Berrino particularly stresses.”These โvegetables,ofenโ avoided due to their taste,areโ packed with polyphenols โค- powerful antioxidants thatโข protect โขcells from damage and inflammation,” he explains. Examples include radicchio, chicory, and even broccoli โฃrabe.
The facts,โฃ last updated November 27, 2025, is part of a broader effort to โฃdisseminate evidence-basedโ nutritional guidance. Berrino’s work builds upon decades โคof research into the relationship between diet, lifestyle, andโ longevity, offering a compelling case for prioritizing whole, plant-basedโฃ foods.
