Let's talk about dieting and how that can contribute to a long and healthy life. First of all the word diet to me has a lot of negative connotations. If you're talking about a short term thing where you're going to, where you're going to eat a certain way for a short period of time to reach an objective and then go back to you're old patterns of eating, that really hasn't been shown to be effective. What you really want to do if you're looking at long term health is just develop an overall healthy diet that is something that you can live with long term. That doesn't mean that you can't ever eat things that aren't healthy for you, but that over all you are eating the right things. Most diets have not been proven to be nutritionally sound for in the long term. One, one diet that has been found to be quite effective is the Mediterranean diet, now that's not really a diet in the sense that's it's a fad diet, it's actually a life style. Of eating foods that are rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fish, olive oil. It's interesting that there are lower levels of heart disease in the Mediterranean area and then there's been several reasons for that people think might be a factor. A recent study defined that olive oil is very rich in natural antioxidants that can combat cell aging so olive oil is one of those healthy fats that you should definitely consider using over saturated fats like butter and so if you want to find out more about the Mediterranean diet I'm not recommending a specific like a brand name or label Mediterranean diet, I'm talking about the actual traditional diet of the Mediterranean area. If you want to research what kind of food they eat, it's a lot of fish and vegetables and just the kind of things that we already know are good for us. So if you want to look into that more I'd suggest doing some research because that, that is a diet that tends to help you to live longer and healthier
