Would you add a few more vegetables and whole grains to your diet in return for a healthy old age? A new study has broken down in detail the food groups that increase the likelihood of healthy aging – and identified the best diet overall.
For the purposes of the study, researchers led by a team from Harvard University defined healthy aging as reaching 70 without any chronic diseases – and still being in good shape mentally and physically.
The analysis showed that the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI) came top of eight healthy dietary patterns studied: developed by Harvard, the AHEI prioritizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, legumes, and healthy fats.

Fruits and nuts.
They always die in the restroom. My advice is, when you get to 70, start doing your business outside.

70? Does Harvard classify someone who’s 70 as aged? I think 80 would be a much more reasonable number. I know quite a few 70-ish folks who could probably knock that author around in a boxing ring pretty good.
Make it to 80 without any major problems, and you’ve been either careful or lucky. Maybe both.
Biden doesn’t use bathrooms.
Yeah, that’s California but what about the diet?
1 Corinthians 15:32
If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is there to me, if the dead rise not? “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
Only eat when you are hungry.
Eat lots of meat.
Eat lots of butter soaked veggies.
Drink lots of beer.
And above all ignore these idiots that want you to
live like a Vegan.
Ouch!

pizza, burgers, daily amount of fries/alfredo pasta :)
Ha
Pizza, yes. But only if it’s made by Italians, in a true Italian pizzeria. None of that phony chain stuff made by kids hired right off the street.
I’m fortunate that I have such a pizzeria near me. How do I know it’s a true Italian pizzeria? Because while I wait for my pizza, I can hear folks in the kitchen yelling at each other in Italian.
Evidently making true Italian pizza is quite an emotional thing.
For a long time, my three major food groups were beer, pizza and cigarettes.
In 1998, the USDA started spraying synthetic folic acid on wheat, rice etc and (some) other grains and began adding it to milk products. These are ‘fortified’ products and are usually labeled ‘Fortified’.
Unfortunately many people don’t tolerate synthetic acid very well, and its presence can lead to low level problems including elevated inflammation in the body. This, of course, is not healthy.
‘Organic’ grains/milk are not supposed to contain synthetic folic acid (sometimes they lie). To investigate your susceptibility to synthetic folic acid, try replacing grains and milk and dietary supplements with products which don’t contain it. Select products with natural folic acid instead. See if there’s any improvement. :)
beer, lots and lots of beer
I’ve heard from others that synthetic vitamin Bs can be a problem.
I’ve been having trouble with them lately myself. Sigh....
It just isn’t getting any better.
I would hang that on somebody’s wall.
I don't know what translation of the Bible you are using, but punctuation makes all the difference. In most Bible translations this verse is rendered:
"If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
In this chapter of Corinthians, Paul was laying out his case for the resurrection of the body. His point here is that if we are not going to be resurrected, then (quoting an old proverb from Ecclesiastes 9), we might as well just "eat, drink, and be merry", living lives of excess like there was no tomorrow.
