The Diet Secret: Delaying Ageing and Chronic Illnesses in Later Life

In a groundbreaking study by the Karolinska Institutet and Hospital del Mar, researchers uncover how diet influences ageing and chronic disease in older adults.

Following over 2,400 Swedish seniors for 15 years, they found that a nutritious diet slowed the pace of biological ageing more effectively than inflammatory food consumption.

Guided by dietary patterns like the Mediterranean and Mind diets, the study highlights the impact of balanced nutrition in delaying conditions such as heart disease and depression, urging older adults to embrace healthier eating habits.
