A US and Swedish study of more than 25,000 US women who were followed up for 25 years found those who stuck to a Mediterranean diet were 23% less likely to die prematurely from any cause than women on other diets. The researchers looked into the reasons why, and say women on the Med diet tended to have a healthier metabolism, lower inflammation, a higher proportion of healthy body fats, better blood sugar control, and a lower body mass index (BMI) than women on other diets.

About The Study: Higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with a 23% lower risk of all-cause mortality in this cohort study. This inverse association was partially explained by multiple cardiometabolic factors.
