Increasing life expectancy for men by 6.5 years and women by 5 years may be just a matter of eating daily portions of wine, fish(or 4 times a week) dark chocolate, fruits and vegetables, almonds and garlic. This polymeal was developed by a team from Monash university and a group from the Netherlands studying scienctific literature over the years that looked at the health benefits of different food groups. It was in response to the development of a Polypill that reduces your risk of health problems. So they thought a polymeal might do the trick instead. Dr Anna Peeters , who led the study explained to Monash Univeristy that "The polymeal is an effective, non-pharmacological, safe, cheap and tasty alternative to the polypill that will reduce cardiovascular morbidity and increase life expectancy in the general population," |
