Paleo and Mediterranean Diet Will Make You Live Longer, According to Science

The simple Paleo and Mediterranean Diet guideline

The Paleo/Mediterranean diet will save your life

The study by Emory University showed that:

• Those who ate the Paleo/Mediterranean diet have 41~51% lower all-cause mortality than those who eat the regular Western diet.

• 12.3% of those who eat a Western diet die in the next 10 years; on the other hand, 9.6% of participants who eat a paleo diet die in the next 10 years.

• 14.6% of those who eat the Mediterranean diet die in the next 10 years; on the other hand, 8.1% of those who eat the Mediterranean diet die in the next 10 years.

This lower risk of dying is mostly associated with the lower risk of cardiovascular diseases and, possibly, cancer.

Why do these diets lower the risk of death?

The research conducted by the same researcher in 2016 can give us the answer.

Paleo/Mediterranean diet and Chronic Inflammation and Oxidative stress

Another study by Emory University showed that the Paleo/Mediterranean diet improves chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. But first, let me explain what inflammation and oxidative stress do to your body.

Consequence of chronic inflammation and oxidative stress

• Sleep problem.

• Mood disorder

• Weight gain

• Unknown-cause joint and muscle pain

• Tiredness

• Loss of motivation

• Lower immune system

• Higher mortality rate

• Facilitate the aging process.

• Up to 75% higher risk of all causes of death (e.g., cancer, cardiovascular disease, and cancer)

A paleo/Mediterranean diet can improve all these malfunctions in your body.

• Those who follow the Paleo diet have 39% lower inflammation and 59% lower oxidative stress

• Those who follow the Mediterranean diet have 29% lower inflammation and 61% lower oxidative stress.

This means that if you follow either diet, you will have a new body and brain.
