Exploring healthy aging diets, this review highlights shared foods in Mediterranean, plant-based, and Nordic diets. These dietary patterns show promise in promoting well-being and healthy aging by targeting oxidative stress.
Area of Science:
- Nutrition Science
- Gerontology
- Public Health
Background:
- Global life expectancy has increased, accompanied by rising chronic diseases and an aging population.
- Research is increasingly focused on dietary patterns for healthy aging and individual well-being.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review dietary patterns that promote healthy aging.
- To identify shared foods across Mediterranean, plant-based, and Nordic diets that contribute to well-being.
Main Methods:
- Literature search for dietary patterns promoting healthy aging.
- Selection of Mediterranean, plant-based, and Nordic diets.
- Analysis of shared foods and their impact on aging pathways and oxidative stress.
Main Results:
- Foods common to Mediterranean, plant-based, and Nordic diets show potential benefits for healthy aging.
- Investigated pathways include those involved in aging and oxidative stress.
Conclusions:
- The examined foods demonstrate a beneficial effect on aging.
- Further research is needed to investigate other aging hallmarks like deregulated nutrient sensing, stem cell exhaustion, and cellular senescence.
