Nordic Diet May Help Extend Your Lifespan by Adding Whole Grains and Berries to Your Plate
Learn about the Nordic diet, the northern counterpart of the Mediterranean diet that may benefit overall health by promoting sustainable plant-based foods.
The Nordic diet, which emphasizes whole grains, berries, and rapeseed oil, has been found in a new study to potentially lower the risk of mortality compared to conventional diets, despite not significantly improving liver health as previously believed. This diet, based on foods commonly consumed in Nordic countries, shares similarities with the Mediterranean diet but differs in the types of produce and grains it promotes.
The study, published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, analyzed data from 64,000 Swedish adults over 24 years, concluding that while the Nordic diet may not be a game-changer for liver health, its nutrient-rich foods likely contribute to overall improved health.
