Mediterranean Diet Increases Lifespan
Mango Summer Salad from SKINNY DISH!
A friend of mine always joked that healthy eating doesn’t make you live longer, it just seems longer. Well, looks like I can finally prove him wrong! A conglomerate of four studies to be published by the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg has shown that a diet rich in vegetables, nuts, seeds, and grains, and low in meats and dairy foods increases lifespan and lifetime health. Read the summary here . Just in time to set those veggie-heavy New Years Resolutions. And, I guess I can continue my healthy eating preachery in 2012!

Jen,
I think the Med diet is very good for me, but how do I get on it? I am lazy and don’t cook. I live on frozen dinners and fast food!

Gerry,
Anything is possible! Check out Amy’s frozen meals found in any grocery store: http://www.amys.com/ . But, beware of the “healthy” fast food items: http://www.pcrm.org/health/reports/the-five-worst-supposedly-healthy-fast-food-items . Here are tips for choosing healthier options at fast food joints: http://www.helpguide.org/life/fast_food_nutrition.htm . And, don’t forget the 8-Minute Meals section in my book, Skinny Dish! http://tinyurl.com/SkinnyDish 🙂 XOXO Happy New Year!
