Eating traditional Mediterranean diet including vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, olive oil and fish can increase a woman's lifespan by as much as 15 years and a man's by eight years, reveals a new study from Holland.
The health benefits of a Mediterranean diet have been known for some time. A diet rich in high amounts of cereals, fruits, nuts, legumes and whole grains, fish and olive oil and low in meat and alcohol, is already being recommended by physicians to prevent heart disease, strokes, cancer, allergic rhinitis and asthma symptoms.
