研究:地中海饮食有助保持“基因年轻”
And more evidence on how good the popular Mediterranean diet can be good for your body, a new study reveals why and how it may help you live longer, ABC's Reena has the details.
更多证据显示,大受欢迎的地中海饮食对身体健康有益 。一项新的研究披露了地中海饮食为何,以及如何帮助你更加长寿 。ABC记者Reena报道详细内容 。
This morning a diet known for trimming your waistline might also be adding to your life expectancy, a new study says that Mediterranean diet may extend your life by extending a part of your DNA called telomeres.
今天早上有一个好消息,一种以瘦腰著称的饮食可能也会增加你的寿命 。一项新的研究称,地中海饮食可能通过延长DNA中一个叫做端粒的部位来延长寿命 。
Telomeres are the caps on the end of all chromosomes, often compare to the ends of shoelaces, and their length is a marker of aging, as we age they get shorter, but according to the study the Mediterranean diet keeps them intact, helping to prevent aging from taking its toll on cells.
端粒是所有染色体末端的帽子,通常被比作鞋带的末端,它们的长度是年老的记号,随着我们越来越老,它们也变得越来越短 。但是根据这项研究,地中海饮食可以帮助这些端粒保持完好,预防年老在细胞中做记号 。
Researchers followed nearly 5,000 nurses in a long term study and say those who adhere to a Mediterranean diet ended up with longer telomeres.
在一项长期调查中,研究人员追踪了近5000名护士,称坚持地中海饮食的人染色体端粒更长 。
They say that could translate into an average gain of about 4.5 years of life.
他们说,这意味着他们的平均寿命增加4.5年 。
It's good for the heart, it's good for the brain, it's good for the waistline, if diet can modify how we age on a cellular level, that's a big deal.
这对心脏,大脑和腰都有益 。如果饮食可以从细胞层面改变我们年老的状况,这将是非常重大的发现 。
The diet rich in fish, nuts, vegetables,olive oil, even red wine is also associated with a decreased risk of heart disease and cancer.
富含鱼,坚果,蔬菜,橄榄油,甚至红酒的饮食也可以降低心脏病和癌症的风险 。
This is the first time a study actually showed that women who followed a Mediterranean diet not only looked better, felt better, but internally their cells appear younger.
这是首次有研究发现,遵循地中海饮食的女性不仅看上去更好,感觉更好,而且她们的细胞也更加年轻 。
