Want to Age Like a Fine Sourdough? Stop Eating Like a Discount Crumpet

A 30-year study says the secret to long, healthy life isn’t kale cleanses or beetroot lattes... it’s just eating actual food your gran would recognise. Revolutionary, really.

Right. So apparently, if you want to be one of those irritatingly healthy 70-year-olds who’s still hiking up hills and doing yoga rather than playing bingo in compression socks, the secret isn’t bat dung supplements or green smoothies that taste like freshly mown lawns. No. According to a massive international study, it all comes down to this: eat like a grown-up.
