More validation that the NutriFit approach, predicated on the benefits of the Mediterranean diet, could be the key to living a longer, healthier life! New research results are based on review of women’s nutrition habits of more than 10,000 women in their 50s and 60s and compared them to how the women fared health-wise 15 years later. Those that followed healthy meal plans for women during middle age were about 40% more likely to live past the age of 70 without chronic illness and without physical or mental problems than those with less healthy meal plans for women. The healthiest women were those who ate more plant foods, whole grains, and fish; ate less red and processed meats; and had limited alcohol intake. That’s typical of a Mediterranean-type diet, which is also rich in olive oil and nuts. This report on women’s nutrition appeared yesterday in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
