'Polymeal' Diet Cuts Heart Disease By 76 Percent Extends Life
December 19, 2004
Scientists claim a diet that includes wine, chocolate, garlic, and
other tasty foods can reduce heart disease by 76 percent, and add
years to your life.
The diet, called a 'Polymeal', is most effective for men, adding an
average of 6.6 years to life expectancy, compared with men not eating
the meal.
The scientists also said eating the Polymeal will ward off heart
disease among men for nine years.
Women also benefit from the Polymeal. Women eating the meal can expect
their life expectancy to increase by five years and the Polymeal diet
can ward off the onset of heart disease by eight years.
The diet includes consuming fish four times a week, with wine, dark
chocolate, fruits, vegetables, almonds and garlic, eaten daily.
In 2003, researchers indicated a 'Polypill', which included a
combination of drugs taken in one dose reduced heart disease by more
than 80 percent. However, the researchers of the Polymeal study were
searching for a more natural non-pharmaceutical safer alternative to
the Polypill.
The scientists say the Polymeal is a safe an tasty means to reduce
heart disease and increase life expectancy.
The study appears in the British Medical Journal
