\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Irina Papidakis is in her 60s, but she looks younger.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>She is likely to live in robust good health well into her late 80s or early 90s. So will most of the people in Ikaria, the Mediterranean island where she lives.<\/p>\n

Yuzo Nishimura is nearly 80. But he too looks less.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>He lives in an area in Japan where many of his friends will also live, free of illness, to at least their early 90s.<\/p>\n

They both live in what are called \u2018Blue Zones\u2019. Blue Zones are areas of the world where people are not just very long-lived \u2013 frequently to 100 \u2013 but where they also stay fit, mentally sharp and healthy.<\/p>\n

We, in the West, may be living longer, but it\u2019s how you live these years that really matters.<\/p>\n

Too many suffer in their last decade from degenerative diseases like diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, cancer and dementia.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t have to be like that.<\/p>\n

Secrets of the world\u2019s healthiest people<\/h3>\n

Irina and Yuzo\u2019s principal \u2018secret\u2019 is their diet, the foods they eat. Their foods are of exceptionally high nutritional value \u2013 full of protective vitamins, minerals, trace elements, anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatories and other powerful plant nutrients.<\/p>\n

But they are different diets. What if you could take the best elements of each?<\/p>\n

Irina\u2019s \u201cMediterranean Diet\u201d<\/h4>\n

Irina eats what\u2019s called the \u2018Mediterranean Diet\u2019. It corresponds with current dietary recommendations from the American Cancer Society<\/em> and the British Heart Foundation. <\/em><\/p>\n

In March 2018, The Journal of Gerontology<\/em> published a meta-review which stated quite clearly:<\/p>\n

\u201cConsuming a traditional Mediterranean diet rich in minimally processed plant foods has been associated with a reduced risk of developing multiple chronic diseases and increased life expectancy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yuzo\u2019s Far-Eastern Diet<\/h4>\n

The same study acknowledged that certain other populations in Asia, notably parts of Japan, also achieved similar extended health and longevity results.<\/p>\n

Diets here include oily fish, green tea, soy and the curry spice curcumin (turmeric). These foods and nutrients help contribute to Yuzo Nishimura\u2019s \u2018healthy longevity\u2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A \u2018super-boosted\u2019 diet<\/h3>\n

All these other nutritional elements \u2013 which have also been subject to top-class published scientific research \u2013 should logically be combined to become a \u2018super-boosted\u2019<\/strong> Mediterranean Diet.<\/p>\n

Breakthrough research from the Leibniz Institute on Aging<\/em> in 2017 also suggests that a \u2018super-boosted\u2019 diet should include optimum (not just RDA) levels of B complex vitamins, which are vital to prevent incorrect activation of genes.<\/p>\n

Because although genes are a<\/em> factor in health and longevity, a 2016 study clearly shows it is the impact of nutrition on the way genes are expressed that is the real key to health.<\/p>\n

The simple way to \u2018super-boost\u2019 your diet <\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"The<\/a>Dr Paul Clayton is the former Chair of the Forum on Food and Health<\/em> at the Royal Society of Medicine. <\/strong>In researching his best-selling book \u201cHealth Defence\u201d, he set out to determine exactly what foods and lifestyles could maintain genuinely good health into old age.<\/p>\n

His conclusions are based on thousands of peer-reviewed research studies and clinical trials. \u00a0And from analysis of the nutritional intakes in the regions of the world\u2019s longest lived and healthiest people \u2013 the Blue Zones.<\/p>\n

The result was not just a best-selling book, but an invitation to present his findings to a UK Parliamentary Select Committee.<\/p>\n

Health Defence<\/em> is over 600 pages long, and still available to buy in print or read online.\u00a0 But now Dr Clayton has also made his updated conclusions available as a simple to follow one-page plan<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The challenge of 10-a-day fruits and vegetables<\/h3>\n

But here\u2019s the challenge. The American Cancer Society, the British Heart Foundation and other health experts call for up to 10 portions of fruits and vegetables a day. And 2-3 portions of oily fish (or other source of Omega 3 essential fats) a week.<\/p>\n

Because only these high intakes of vitamins, minerals and plant-derived nutrients seem to confer enough protection to help prevent premature illness.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Illness doesn\u2019t have to be age-related<\/h4>\n

The diseases we call \u2018age-related\u2019 are not actually related to the number of years of life \u2013 they are damage<\/u>-related.<\/p>\n

Damage to DNA, damage to mitochondria, damage to arteries and blood vessels, and a weakening of the immune system. It\u2019s this accumulated damage that leads to accelerated ageing and illness.<\/p>\n

If you prevent that damage with a protective diet, you give yourself the best possible chance of staying healthy.<\/p>\n

Professor Partridge is the Director of the\u00a0Institute of Healthy Ageing\u00a0<\/em>at\u00a0University College<\/em>\u00a0London<\/em>. She puts it well:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat if getting older didn\u2019t mean getting ill?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Optimum nutrition helps you look younger, too<\/h4>\n

High blood levels of protective plant compounds \u2013 anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatories, vitamins, minerals and trace elements \u2013 are also linked to younger appearance. Because a healthy look on the outside is a function of healthy cells and active mitochondria on the inside.<\/p>\n

A simple multi-vitamin A-Z isn’t enough<\/h3>\n

A 10-a-day fruit and vegetable diet is really hard to achieve in normal Western daily life \u2013 even for conscientious people. So many people take a nutritional supplement. But will it work?<\/p>\n

The evidence is that a simple one-a-day vitamin and mineral pill, at merely RDA levels, is not enough \u2013 especially for older people (50+).<\/p>\n

Because, after this age, people\u2019s nutritional needs increase \u2013 at the very time that their ability to absorb and utilise vital nutrients starts to decrease.<\/p>\n

RDAs are established at \u2018just adequate\u2019 levels to prevent deficiency diseases \u2013 like scurvy or rickets \u2013 not at optimised levels to help counteract accumulated damage.<\/p>\n

Just \u2018adequate\u2019 is not optimum<\/h5>\n

All of which is why many doctors dismiss inexpensive, RDA based, A-Z supplements as largely ineffective. And that scepticism is supported by research \u2013 there is little evidence that multi-vitamins alone reduce the risk of heart disease or cancer.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because they have been separated and isolated from other plant nutrients that make a Mediterranean or Far Eastern diet unquestionably healthy.<\/p>\n

These nutrients are vital \u2018co-factors\u2019 for vitamins and minerals, enabling them to be absorbed properly by the body.<\/p>\n

Combining the best of the best to \u2018super-boost\u2019 your nutrition<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We have created a one-page simple guide that ensures you can eat the most protective foods for long term health.<\/p>\n

It includes lifestyle advice on achievable activity targets and ways to improve mental well-being with mindfulness and relaxation.<\/p>\n

It crystallises years of advice in recognised health newsletters from universities like Harvard, Tufts and Berkeley \u2013 as well as 35 years of research by Dr Paul Clayton.<\/p>\n

The guide also recognises that there is <\/u>a role for a comprehensive daily health supplement to \u2018fill in the gaps\u2019 so that you can achieve optimum nutrition every day.<\/p>\n

An effective supplement needs to include the sort of co-factor plant nutrients found in the Blue Zones, not just vitamins and minerals.<\/p>\n

To get all these nutrients day after day, from food alone, is<\/strong> a challenge \u2013 in terms of planning, cooking and even calories. Not the least, because our intensively-farmed soils are becoming less nutrient dense.<\/p>\n

The following are plant micro-nutrients that research shows can<\/u> make a real difference. Some help activate genes that promote health and others deactivate genes that threaten health. (You can click on any one for more information.)<\/p>\n
