Optimizing Diet for Longevity

Optimizing diet is crucial for longevity. A mainly plant-based diet with 30 different vegetable plants a week, diverse colors, and fermented foods can improve overall health. Polyphenols found in nuts, seeds, dark chocolate, olive oil, red wine, and coffee are beneficial. Practicing intermittent fasting, such as skipping breakfast or delaying it, can also energize metabolism. It is important to reduce ultra-processed food intake to Mediterranean levels.
