Longevity expert Franco Berrino Advocates for Seasonal, Natural Diets to Combat Age-Related Decline
Milan, Italy – November 23, 2025 – Leading health researcher Franco Berrino asserts that embracing natural, seasonal foods and macrobiotic principles holds the key to healthy aging, challenging conventional dietary habits often adopted by seniors.Berrino’s research highlights a concerning trend of restricted diets among the elderly, relying heavily on processed and “unnatural” foods, contributing to preventable health issues.
Berrino, author of a forthcoming book on longevity, argues that readily available natural resources offer everything needed for sustained health. His findings underscore a critical need to re-evaluate nutritional approaches as populations age, notably considering rising healthcare costs and the increasing prevalence of age-related diseases.The expert’s recommendations come as Italy, like many nations, faces a demographic shift towards an older population, placing greater emphasis on preventative healthcare strategies.
According to Berrino, a meaningful factor in declining health during aging is the tendency to limit food variety. ”In nature there is everything we need,” he states, “We must take advantage of it and consume all the foods that the different seasons of the year offer us, and not limit ourselves to eating only a few things, as older people often do, and non-natural foods.” This emphasis on seasonal eating aligns with growing interest in lasting food systems and the nutritional benefits of consuming foods at their peak ripeness.
Berrino’s work suggests that a return to simpler, more natural eating patterns coudl substantially improve the quality of life for seniors and reduce the burden on healthcare systems. His research advocates for a proactive approach to aging, emphasizing the power of dietary choices in maintaining vitality and well-being.
