Cruciferous vegetables. Most of the cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts or cauliflower, are very rich for nutrients – at the same time, they can be consumed both in cooked and raw form.

“Cruciferous vegetables contain minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and phytochemical compounds of sulforaphane, which can prevent the development of cancerous tumors and inflammation in the body,” the researchers state.

In addition, these vegetables can reduce the risk of heart disease and strengthen the immune system. All this makes them a good choice for those who want to extend their life.

Nuts and seeds.Doctors recommend consuming up to 30 g of nuts per day (about a handful). Daily consumption of various nuts and seeds provides the body with protein, healthy fats, vitamins, phytosterols, minerals, antioxidants – these nutrients are closely associated with good health, slimness and longevity.

Green tea. Available data say that people, who drink green tea at least three times a week live an average of 15 months longer than those who do not. It has also been scientifically established that the component of the drink, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, is able to block an enzyme important for the growth of cancer cells, which prevents tumor development.
