Our Diet & Healthy Aging: What the Science Says
A massive 30-year study tracking over 105,000 health professionals just dropped some powerful insights on diet and longevity. The key takeaway? Only 9.3% of participants reached age 70 without chronic disease or cognitive decline—but diet played a major role in who did. This infographic chart was super helpful:
The Best Foods for Healthy Aging
🍏 Fruits & Vegetables
🌾 Whole Grains
🥑 Unsaturated Fats (Olive Oil, Nuts, Avocados)
🫘 Legumes & Beans
🧀 Low-Fat Dairy
🐟 Omega-3s (Fatty Fish)
These foods doubled the odds of aging well!
The Worst for Longevity

Ultra-processed foods were linked to lower odds of healthy aging, especially in women, smokers, and those with lower physical activity.
