mediterranean diet

A new study from the Columbia University Medical Center reported that a Mediterranean-style diet rich in olive oil, fish, whole grains and fruit may protect against aging brains and cognitive problems. A Mediterranean-style diet has also been known to help with common health risks such as cancer, heart disease and depression.

Eating a Mediterranean diet has been linked to lower risk of heart disease, cancer, obesity, diabetes, and chronic diseases but now new studies have shown that it is also associated with lower levels of Alzheimer&undefined;s disease if paired with regular physical activity.

One of the most effective ingredients found in anti-aging products is called resveratrol. Resveratrol is a natural defense mechanism which is found naturally in plants. Grapes and certain fruits contain the highest amounts of this compound which has been found to play a role in preventing premature aging and other diseases such as cancer.
