"Harvard Study: Mediterranean Diet Boosts Women's Longevity"

A Harvard study published in JAMA Network Open found that women who adhere to the Mediterranean diet have a 23% lower risk of death from any cause. The diet, which is rich in whole vegetables, grains, fruits, nuts, and olive oil, improves cardiometabolic risk factors and reduces inflammation, contributing to increased longevity. The study analyzed data from 25,315 women over 25 years, though it noted limitations such as the demographic homogeneity of participants and reliance on self-reported dietary intake.
