According to a new study funded by the European Union, the wholesome foods found in the Mediterranean diet—olive oil and foods like fish, whole grains, fruits, veggies, and very little red meat—may help the human body at the molecular level and ultimately slow aging and decrease bone loss. Researchers found that when 1,142 participants from across five European countries were made to eat a strictly Mediterranean diet, they experienced a drop in the level of C-reactive proteins, which are associated with age-related inflammation, found in their bodies. What’s more, those suffering from osteoporosis, or bone weakening, saw decreased bone loss thanks to the Mediterranean diet, over the course of the study.
