Leta Shy at Popsugar says that there is no need for a miracle drug to stay looking younger longer; just eat like the Greeks do.

There are already many proven benefits of eating a Mediterranean diet, and now we can add another major one: a recent study of 4,600 women, published in the BMJ, found that sticking to a Mediterranean diet helped slow DNA damage, an internal sign of aging. Plus, another recent, large study of 7,500 people in Spain found that following a Mediterranean diet can cut your risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart-disease-related deaths by about 30 percent compared to a typical Western diet that didn’t include Mediterranean staples. Since this study followed people who were overweight, had diabetes or heart disease risk factors, and currently smoked, many say the results show just how beneficial the diet is for people who are at high risk of developing cardiovascular complications.

Past studies have found that following a Mediterranean diet can help lower the risk of heart and eye complications, control your weight, protect brain function, and help you live longer, so there are more than a few good reasons to eat like you’re on an overseas vacation.
