The secret to longevity lies not only in good genes or physical activity.
In fact, you can prolong your youth, including with the help of appropriate nutrition.
Tamara Moseva, brand chef of the network of boarding houses for the elderly "Teplye Besedy", listed for Izvestia the products that are sure to be present on the tables of long-livers.
The expert emphasized that human nutrition should not only be varied, but also balanced. Every day there should be products on the table that can satisfy the body's need for vitamins and microelements.
However, there are a number of products that are definitely present in the diet of long-livers.
The first of them, the expert named white cabbage and broccoli, which contain vitamin K and folic acid for heart and bone health. Spinach is also rich in them.
Blackcurrant is also beneficial for humans: the dark-colored berries are rich in anthocyanins, which protect cells from damage and the cardiovascular system from wear and tear.
Peas and other legumes are an excellent source of protein and are suitable for consumption during Lent.
The specialist also listed other products that are beneficial for the body. She emphasized that nuts, avocado, and red fish contain healthy fats and the necessary complex of vitamins.
