Diet plays a key role in overall health, so changing it is critical when it comes to increasing longevity.
According to a study published in the journal PLOS Medicine, there are three groups of foods that can affect longevity.
It is about grains, legumes and nuts. A balanced diet that includes legumes, whole grains, nuts and a reduced amount of red and processed meat in the diet can increase the life expectancy of those who watch their diet, experts said.
However, foods such as fish, fruits and vegetables also made it to the list of healthy foods.
On the other hand, research has shown that those who want to live a long life need to reduce their consumption of red and processed meat, refined grains and sweetened drinks.
It was found that if you change your eating habits to healthier ones in your 20s, your life expectancy can increase by 10 years. If you switch to a more balanced diet at the age of 60, you can live eight years longer. In addition, even 80-year-olds can benefit, as their life expectancy can increase by 3.4 years if they start eating right.
