A major study this week suggests that switching to a healthier diet even in your sunset years can add a decade to your life

🥦Even if you’ve been living a highly processed life with very few greens, it might not be too late to make a change

1⃣Eat like a Mediterranean

🗣️"A host of studies confirm the health benefits of a Mediterranean diet of wholegrains, fruits, vegetables, seafood, beans, nuts and olive oil – with no sugar or saturated foods," says Prof Kenny

2⃣Avoid red meat

"Processed meat, such as sausages and bacon, has been repeatedly shown to lead to faster ageing," says Prof Kenny

3⃣Eat little… and less often

Prof Kenny is a fan of calorie-restrictive dieting: lowering the number of calories you consume in a 24-hour period

4⃣Watch your drinking

First-stage alcohol-related liver disease is entirely reversible after just two weeks.

Abstaining from alcohol for this period gives the liver time to recover, reduce fatty deposits and stop the inflammation
