What You Eat In Midlife Affects How Healthy You Are At Age 70

A new study led by Harvard researchers tracked over 100,000 adults for up to three decades to unravel the secret to reaching age 70 without chronic diseases. Published in Nature Medicine, the study revealed that individuals with healthy diets in midlife were more likely to age healthily, regardless of other lifestyle factors. Participants’ long-term food consumption was analyzed against various healthy and unhealthy diets. Those adhering to diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains showed a higher chance of healthy aging, while those with higher intakes of unhealthy foods had lower odds. The study encourages dietary choices that promote healthy aging and disease prevention. (CNN)
