So you are saying that it is recommended for those people to not eat any processed foods?

Do even a little research on processed foods and I think you will be very shocked on the long term ramifications on your health....

I try to avoid the processed foods. It's fairly easy to do the way that supermarkets are setup. Just do most of your shopping on the perimeter of the store and avoid the interior aisles as much as possible.

I get 80% of my food on the perimeter. Eggs, cheese, meat, fish, yogurt, produce, etc.

Don't understand why people eat vegetables out of a can when you can buy them fresh.

Stick with olive oil. I've always avoided the other types of oils. They don't taste as good. You can cook with olive oil, just be aware it has a lower smoke point so keep the heat on medium. I also never use a microwave oven. Not even to reheat things. It just doesn't seem right to me.

I was eating tv dinners for lunch at work and sometimes at home for about 2 weeks straight. It was convenient as it takes 5 minutes to microwave and the food can taste good.
I was getting more and more tired and remembered why I had stopped eating the tv dinners in the past. I stopped the tv dinners and the tiredness went away.

Yes.

And here is the story of the Greek island of Ikaria that has the highest population density of people over 90 years of age:
