An American researcher has discovered that certain foods often appear in the diet of centenarians.
He decided that they played a key role.
The specialist shared details with the Daily Mail .
As it turns out, we are talking about beans, lentils and peas.
Such food contains a lot of protein and fiber, which have a positive effect on the condition of the intestines.
At the same time, as the doctor explained in his work, such products are filling, allow you to get important components from plant protein, and also reduce the proportion of animal protein in the diet.
Centenarians also eat cheeses, yogurts, pickled mushrooms and vegetables.
These foods contain beneficial bacteria that also improve digestion and health.
At the same time, as the scientist emphasized, not only food is important for longevity, but also a moderate and varied diet.
