A Healthy Diet: The Key To a Longer Life
A healthy diet is one of the most important keys to longer life. You can reduce your risk of disease, get more energy, and feel better by eating the right kinds of foods in the right kinds of quantities.
Case in Point: Preventing Cancer With A Healthy Diet
"Cancer, Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention," a medical and life extension information journal, talked about a University of California San Francisco report in its September 2005 issue. The life extension report revealed that the consumption of a large quantity of fruits and vegetables has been proven responsible for a fifty percent reduction in the incidence of pancreatic cancer!
Researchers, interested in the study of life extension through disease prevention, studied 532 patients who already suffered from pancreatic cancer and 1700 other control subjects who were matched by age and gender and had no cancer. The study looked at diet and smoking habits, among other factors.
Researchers compared the participants who had consumed at least five servings of designated vegetables and fruits with those who had consumed fewer than three vegetable or fruit servings each day. They found that the second group had twice as many incidences of cancer as the first group. Those who consumed even more - a minimum of nine daily fruit or vegetable servings - had half of the incidences of cancer as those in the fewer than five serving group.
The greatest life extension properties - or at least disease prevention properties - were found in onion, garlic, beans, dark leafy or yellow vegetables, and cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, and Brussels spouts. Fruits afforded some protection, but most fruits were not as effective in preventing cancer as vegetables. The best life extension fruits were found to be the citrus type.
