Old age people can live long life

Aged people who adopt healthy dietings may alive longer, a analyse suggests.

Research in the Journal of the American dietetical Association found those who ate a low-fat diet that held back lots of fruit and vegetables lowered their risk of dying over ten years. The analyse compared the diets of 2,500 U.S. adults aged 70 to 79. Those who ate up a high fatty diet rich in ice cream, cheese, and whole milk, had the most in high spirits risk of death.


The study showed that 12 extra people in every hundred survived over the ten years, if they ate healthily. Participants were split into six different groups, according to how often they ate certain foods. The groups were: healthy foods; high-fat diary products; meat, fried foods and alcohol; breakfast cereal; refined grains and sweets and desserts.

Those who had a "healthy foods" diet ate more low-fat dairy products, fruit, whole grains, poultry, fish, and vegetables. People in this group had healthier lifestyles too; smoking less and being more active than other participants.
