Jeanne Louise Calment Lived for 122 Years Consuming These 5 Foods

People who live a longer often drink water, do not smoke, like to walk, often laugh, and enjoy life with their family. Maybe you think that 100 years is a long time, but you certainly want to at least get enough time to enjoy in retirement. Therefore it is necessary to consume the following 5 foods that will make it possible. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); • Brightly colored fruit and vegetables Research suggests that those who eat more fruit and vegetables tend to live longer than those who don’t, due to the nutrients they contain. While all fruit and vegetables are good for you, brightly colored produce is particularly beneficial as the natural pigments which give them their color can also help prevent cancer. The Okinawans – who are reputed to have the world’s longest life expectancy and who have low rates of heart disease and cancer – have a diet that is rich in fruit and vegetables, especially dark green and yellow varieties. In particular, large quantities of sweet potatoes.

• Dark chocolate Chocolate can help you live longer! Cocoa beans are packed with antioxidants which studies have found can help cut your risk of heart disease. This may be why Jeanne Louise Calment, who lived a grand total of 122 years and 164 days (the oldest verified age of any human being ever) put her good health down to her regular chocolate consumption. However, make sure you go for the over 70 per cent cocoa bars which contain more flavonoids and less sugar.

Not only does opting for fish over meat reduce your risk of many of the health problems associated with red meat, such as heart disease, but oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines and trout are renowned for their health benefits. Oily fish are a good source of vitamins A and D which are good for the immune system. Furthermore, they are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which have been linked to a lowered risk of heart disease, brain damage, and stroke.

• Green tea Green tea boasts an impressive array of health benefits, helping to improve cardiovascular health, regulate blood pressure, boost the immune system, and lower cholesterol. Drinking green tea – which is rich in health-boosting flavonoids – can help to lower your risk of cancer. Japanese study of more than 40,000 participants found that those who drank five or more cups of green tea a day had a death rate that was 16 per cent lower than those who drank one cup, over the course of 11 years.

Studies have found that regularly consuming olive oil can help cut your risk of stroke and heart disease, due to its antioxidant properties. The oil is also a staple of the healthy Mediterranean diet, which studies suggests can help you live longer.
