As we step into a new year, it’s not always about drastic diet changes. Harvard’s Dr. Frank B. Hu shares small but impactful ways to adjust your diet for increased longevity.
Four straightforward diet modifications for longevity are:
- Increase Whole Food Intake:
Dr. Hu recommends focusing on whole and minimally processed plant foods, aligning with diets like the Mediterranean or Okinawan, which combat chronic diseases.
- Cut Down on Processed Foods:
Reducing intake of ultra-processed foods, which form a significant part of the typical American diet, is essential. These foods have been associated with a higher risk of death.
