The fountain of youth does not exist, but there are things you can do and foods you can eat to contribute to longevity. Moving your body on a regular basis and improving your diet can help promote a longer life. Knowing exactly which foods to <strong>eat for a longer life<\/strong> can be tricky, which is why we\u2019ve detailed the top foods in this article.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobody needs to eat a perfect diet, but it is important to fill up on the right foods. Such foods include vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, eggs, and wild caught fish. Health experts also advise that by filling up on those foods, the body won\u2019t crave shelf-stable foods, refined carbs, high-sugar foods, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/whats-the-difference-between-processed-and-ultra-processed-foods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ultra-processed foods<\/a>. The key to eating for longevity is finding the right balance of healthy options. Continue reading to learn about the best foods you should be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/the-most-popular-foods-where-people-live-the-longest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eating to live a longer life<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Whole Grains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How can eating some barley, wild rice, millet, farro, bulgur, or oats add years to your life? One study from Harvard\u2019s School of Public Health found that whole grains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/diet-nutrition\/4-juices-to-help-reduce-high-blood-pressure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reduced blood pressure<\/a>, triglyceride, and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. Eating more whole grains also reduced your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, certain types of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extra Virgin Olive Oil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all oils are created equal. Certain oils do more harm to your heart than you realize, so opting for heart-healthy oils <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/the-7-best-foods-that-promote-longevity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">may <strong>promote longevity<\/strong><\/a>. Extra virgin olive oil, for example, is rich in monounsaturated fats, antioxidants, and polyphenolic compounds like oleuropein, according to research. Oleuropein exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, cardioprotective, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/brain-booster-p-11.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">neuroprotective properties<\/a>. A half-teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil per day may significantly lower the risk of death from cardiovascular disease, respiratory diseases, and certain types of cancer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cruciferous Vegetables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower all belong to the cruciferous vegetable family. Not only do these vegetables contain a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/multi-vitamins-and-minerals-p-259.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vitamins and minerals<\/a>, but they also exhibit anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties, according to studies. Many cruciferous vegetables are vital sources of magnesium, a mineral that\u2019s involved with more than 600 enzyme reactions in the body. Additionally, cruciferous vegetables contain folate, which is a B vitamin that the body needs for DNA methylation, a process that switches the longevity genes on and off. As a general rule of thumb, fill three-quarters of your plate with these types of vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Berries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that berries are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/8-foods-that-are-high-in-antioxidants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">great sources of antioxidants<\/a>. That means that they aid cell repair throughout the body, including the heart. Berries also tend to have a low glycemic load, which is why they are popular fruits to consume for diabetics and people who follow the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/clean-vs-dirty-keto-whats-the-difference\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"Clean Vs Dirty Keto: What\u2019s The Difference?\">ketogenic diet<\/a>. They don\u2019t spike blood sugar, which may help reduce the risk of diabetes, provided you don\u2019t overload your body with other packaged sweets and refined carbs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tree Nuts And Seeds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both tree nuts and seeds contain a lot of fiber and protein, two nutrients that are integral for overall health. Protein works to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/muscle-bath-drops-p-384.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">repair muscles<\/a> and bones, in addition to making hormones and enzymes. Fiber helps to normalize bowel movements and improve overall gut health. Fiber also helps promote satiety, which can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/hunger-control-p-314.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prevent you from unnecessary snacking<\/a>. A recent study found that nuts and seeds are great snack choices to help reduce visceral fat content and improve insulin sensitivity. Some nuts and seeds also contain omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart health and aid inflammation reduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fermented Foods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fermented foods contain beneficial bacteria that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/the-microbiome-diet-a-plan-for-a-healthier-gut\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">promote a healthy gut microbiom<\/a>e. These healthy bacteria may help enhance immune response, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/diet-nutrition\/5-turmeric-drinks-to-help-reduce-inflammation\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"86\" title=\"5 Turmeric Drinks To Help Reduce Inflammation\">reduce inflammation<\/a>, and increase the diversity of microbes in the gut, all of which may improve longevity. A diverse microbiome that has a higher presence of beneficial bacteria is not only essential for current health, but also long-term health. Generally, you should aim to consume one serving of fermented foods per day.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Longevity experts have done research and these are the foods they said to put in your grocery carts to help promote a longer life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":169329,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,61],"tags":[2494,2523,2566,2579,2652,1893,2751,1940,2938,1972,3409,2082,3782,2084,4009,2118,4106,2125,7741,2137,2157,2339,2385],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Eat These 6 Foods For A Longer Life - Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies &amp;
