Diet of beans, fermented dairy products, fruit, coffee, nuts and seaweed delays aging
If you eat relatively large amounts of beans, fermented dairy products, fruit, coffee, nuts and seaweed you may live longer than if your diet consists of only small amounts of these foods. South Korean nutritionists at Kookmin University wrote about this in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Study
Ten years previously the participants had told the researchers in detail about their diet. That meant that the researchers were able to build up a picture of the effect of various foods on the pace at which aging took place.
Results
Among the participants who ten years before had been eating large amounts of fruit, beans, nuts, dairy products [most of which were fermented in the Korean diet], seaweed and coffee, their telomeres were longer. The effect of seaweed in particular was noticeably strong.
Green tea, fish and green and yellow vegetables showed no correlation with telomere length. This may be because nearly all participants consumed relatively large amounts of these foods. Because there was no difference in distribution it was difficult to detect effects of eating these foods.
