prevention There is some evidence that vitamin E may prevent blood clots, which can lead to heart
attacks. The following foods contain high levels of vitamin E: almonds, peanuts, hazelnuts, sunflower
seeds, green vegetables The medical community has long recognized the link between trans
fats and heart-related illnesses, such as coronary heart disease.

according to Alina Petre, MS, RD (CA) benifits Linked to a Long Life (Backed by Science) Many people
think that life expectancy is largely determined by genetics. However, genes play a much smaller role
than originally believed. It turns out that environmental factors like diet and lifestyle are key. first Avoid
overeating The link between calorie intake and longevity currently generates a lot of interest. Limiting
your calories may help you live longer and protect against disease. However, more human research is
needed. second eat more nuts, Nuts are nutritional powerhouses. They're rich in protein, fiber,
antioxidants, and beneficial plant compounds. What’s more, they’re a great source of several vitamins
and minerals, such as copper, magnesium, potassium, folate, niacin, and vitamins B6 and E (8 Trusted

contains a potent bioactive compound called curcumin. Curcumin, the main bioactive compound in
turmeric, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Some animal studies suggest that it can
increase lifespan. fourth Eat plenty of healthy plant foods Consuming a wide variety of plant foods, such
as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and beans, may decrease disease risk and promote
longevity. Eating plenty of plant foods is likely to help you live longer and lower your risk of various

early death (44 Trusted Source). Stopping smoking can significantly prolong your life — and it’s never
too late to quit.
seventh Moderate your alcohol intake, Heavy alcohol consumption is linked to liver, heart, and
pancreatic disease, as well as an overall increased risk of early death (47 Trusted Source). However,
moderate consumption is associated with a reduced likelihood of several diseases, as well as a 17–18%
decrease in your risk of premature death (47 Trusted Source, 48 Trusted Source).Wine is considered
particularly beneficial due to its high content of polyphenol antioxidants. If you drink alcohol,
maintaining a moderate intake may help prevent disease and prolong your life. Wine may be particularly
beneficial. eighth Prioritize your happiness, Feeling happy can significantly increase your longevity (52).
In fact, happier individuals had a 3.7% reduction in early death over a 5-year study period (53 Trusted
Source). happiness likely has positive effects not only for your mood but also your lifespan.
