The 30-year study, which followed the eating habits of more than 100,000 middle-aged adults, found that diets with comparatively higher amounts of plant-based foods — fruits, vegetables, whole grains, unsaturated fats, nuts and beans — were associated with a higher likelihood of healthy aging.

“This suggests what you eat in midlife can play a big role in how well you age,” said Anne-Julie Tessier, an assistant professor of nutrition at the University of Montreal and the lead author of the observational study, which was published in Nature Medicine.

Seems obvious. There’s no need to consume anything other than plants.

Sounds like rocket science to me /s
