This figure makes other healthy habits such as regular exercise and scientific eating less prominent.For example, “For a 20 -year -old, if you switch from a standard American diet to a green diet, the life expectancy is expected to increase about 10 years, and for a 60 -year -old person.This is even more valuable, ”Buetttner said.
Here, green diet is a combination of diets from 5 regions: Okinawa, Japan;Sardinia, Italy;Nicoya, Costa Rica;Ikaria, Greece;Loma Linda, California, has a common point based on plants.
Besides, simple forms of exercise can also extend the life of 3 years or more.Specifically, Buettner said: "If you do not have any physical activity throughout your life, just walk 20 minutes a day, your expected life expectancy can increase for 3 years."
