Diet is usually done by reducing the amount of carbohydrates consumed. Now there is a new diet pattern that changes the trend above, even this diet can make longevity.
Residents in the Okinawa region, a collection of several islands in southern Japan, are one of the regions with the highest living population in the world. Reported in the Daily Mail, in recent years, Okinawa residents who touched the age of 90 years dropped dramatically.
Medical research says this happens because of changes in dietary patterns and excessive consumption of processed foods. The Okinawa diet basically makes yams a staple food and consumes high amounts of yellow and green vegetables.
While protein is consumed in minimal amounts, it is usually soybeans and fish. Nuts are also eaten in small amounts. This excess diet has been highlighted by the Okinawa Centenarian Study (OCS).
Studies say this diet is a diet low in refined carbohydrates and high in fiber. This dietary arrangement is understood to be anti-inflammatory and hence helps prevent age-related diseases, including some cancers, heart disease, and Alzheimer's.
