British Dietitian Dr. Mark Gilbert revealed, in an interview with Express, the rules of nutrition that help improve health and extend life.
The specialist points out, that it is necessary first and foremost to reduce the amount of calories a person eats. Because low-calorie foodstuffs are able to slow down the aging process and protect against the development of cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease, according to “Russia Today”.
He added, it is important to have a balance of the level of vitamin D in the body. Because the level of this vitamin in the body is inversely proportional to the risk of death, explaining, “Vitamin D is closely related to the immune system and helps the T cells in the immune response.”
The expert advises adding fruits to the diet, as they improve heart health, boost immunity and lower blood pressure. The fruits also help improve blood circulation and prevent cholesterol accumulation.
To reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, expert Gilbert advises drinking green tea regularly.
He says that following these four rules even within a short period of time improves the general health of a person, and when followed over a long period of time, it increases the chances of extending life.
