This Buzzy Diet Helps Women Live Longer, Study Finds

In the article "This Buzzy Diet Helps Women Live Longer, Study Finds," Scott Keatley, R.D., co-owner of Keatley Medical Nutrition Therapy, contributes by explaining the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet and how to incorporate it into one's eating plan. He emphasizes the diet's richness in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and fiber, which help protect against chronic diseases and cellular aging. Keatley highlights the importance of consuming foods high in antioxidants like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds to neutralize harmful free radicals in the body. He also discusses the benefits of anti-inflammatory compounds found in fish, olive oil, and red wine in reducing chronic inflammation, which lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Keatley points out the high fiber content in the Mediterranean diet, which aids in regulating the digestive system, promoting satiety, and supporting cardiovascular health by lowering cholesterol levels. He also stresses the diet's emphasis on healthy fats from olive oil, fish, and nuts, which help increase HDL (good) cholesterol and reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol. Finally, Keatley advises limiting ultra-processed foods to improve overall health and reduce hidden risk factors for cancer.
