The Mediterranean diet is considered the best scientifically recognized way to combat excess weight and prolong life.
But it is not the only one that can reduce the risk of premature death. Scientists have told about another interesting diet that only the initiated know about.
Research on this topic was conducted by staff from the Loma Linda University School of Public Health.
The results of the work were published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Research details
While studying a vegetarian diet, scientists came to the conclusion that this diet reduces the risk of mortality.
But further on we will not talk about vegetarianism.
Pesco-vegetarian diet
Scientists have proven that a vegetarian diet reduces the risk of premature death by 12%.
Pescetarianism excludes the consumption of animal meat, while animal products (milk, eggs, etc.) are not prohibited.
But as for the pesco-vegetarian diet, it reduces the risk of premature death by 18%.
This diet is almost no different from the classic vegetarian diet. The only difference is that it includes fish.
As for veganism, scientists have come to the conclusion that it does not have significant advantages in terms of prolonging life.
