Scientists of the Institute of Baka on the study of aging in the United States revealed a diet, which can significantly increase life expectancy, writes Express.
According to physicians, excessive carbohydrate consumption creates a large metabolic load on the body. A constant increase in blood sugar level leads to weight growth, deterioration of metabolism, to the risk of the appearance of cardiovascular diseases. Excess insulin in the blood leads to high blood pressure, cholesterol accumulation, cancer.
According to American scientists, because of this, you need to adhere to a low-carbid diet. They called it a “elixir of youth” and longevity. Biologists came to the conclusion that it is best to stick to a ketogenic, or keto diet (diet with a high content of fats and a very low content of carbohydrates). According to them, it contributes to the preservation of memory, motor functions, and also increases the life expectancy. The diet also had a positive impact on the state of volunteers, patients with second type diabetes: they managed to lose weight and reduce blood sugar.
The second important rule for longevity scientists consider an increase in the number of vegetable-based products in the diet. For example, plant food lovers during observation had 16 percent a lower risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Among them, heart attacks, stroke and heart failure.
It has previously turned out that people who daily consumed about five servings of fruits and vegetables have had the greatest life expectancy. At the same time, the metaanalysis showed that the consumption of starchy vegetables, such as peas, corn, potatoes, did not reduce the risk of premature death in respondents.
