Mediterranean Diet Impact on Women's Longevity Predictions

Women who closely followed a Mediterranean diet lived much longer than those who did not, according to a new study that followed more than 25,000 women for 25 years. The Mediterranean diet reduces the risk of death by 23%, cancer by 17%, and cardiovascular disease by 20%. Each increase in adherence to the diet was associated with a 6% lower risk of all-cause mortality. Researchers emphasize the importance of studying the diet's specific effects on women's health, as women have unique biological differences. Experts recommend a Mediterranean style of eating for its numerous health benefits, including longevity, heart health, and healthy weight loss.
