Some diets are focused on weight loss, some are prescribed by doctors for medicinal purposes, to treat certain health conditions, or to avoid the complication of certain diseases, and some aim for a general wellness and good health. In that ocean of different nutritional plans, there is one called Methuselah diet that stands out in particular. You may have never heard of it before, but today it is about to change. You will get familiar with what the main principles of this diet are, who this diet is named after, and what result this diet claims to bring.

He reached the age of 969 years. Some claim that such a number is a mistranslation, but there is no evidence that would prove or deny this statement. There are no records on how or when the man died (<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tms.edu\/methuselahs-age-and-the-patience-of-god\">8<\/a>)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, the fact that he lived for so long makes people wonder how he achieved that.

Why? Because the main principle by which Methuselah consumed food was to \u201ceat what he has on the plate\u201d. Unlike other diets, which usually have certain food limitations, as for example, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/gluten-free-meal-plan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gluten-free diet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/keto-diet\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">keto diet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the Methuselah diet preaches eating whatever you desire and have at hand. However, there is no reputable source that would confirm whether it really was such nutritional practice that improved his longevity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/different-types-of-diets\/\">Different Types Of Diets: The Lowdown On The Most Talked-About Weight Loss Strategies<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Methuselah_Diet_The_Key_To_Sound_Health_And_Longevity_Or_Another_Bogus_Diet_Trend\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-33345 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4838-1024x576.png\" alt=\"BetterMe\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4838.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4838-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4838.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4838-1636x920.png 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4838.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Increase_Longevity_With_The_Methuselah_Diet\"><\/span>How To Increase Longevity With The Methuselah Diet?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are disappointed by the fact that there is no certain meal plan or instructions of the Methuselah diet, fear not, because there are three science-supported methods, a combination of which can boost your chances at living a longer life (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/special-reports\/anti-aging-science\/20170404\/super-ager-secrets\">7<\/a>)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Mental balance is also supremely important when it comes to longevity. Stress and anxiety can take a significant toll on your health. Annually they cause lots of breakdowns and deaths. That is why to live a long and happy life, you need to reduce the level of stress and anxiety. Avoid the causes of stress as much as possible, if it is a relationship &#8211; try to fix it or leave it behind, if it is a job \u2013 be honest and accept criticism more lightly. You can also practice yoga and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">meditation<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which are highly effective for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stress relief<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although there are certain aspects that influence our longevity negatively, there are quite a number of factors that do the opposite. A spiritual attachment and support are some of them. One study among churchgoers found that providing (though not receiving) support to other church members reduced the negative effects of financial strain on mortality. In other words, people who perhaps found purpose in providing support to other members of their church community lived longer in spite of stressors they had in their own lives (<a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/psychsocgerontology\/article\/61\/3\/S140\/644561\">2<\/a>)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Use it as a dressing for a salad and you could live a longer and healthier life.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fish\"><\/span><b>Fish<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you think it\u2019s a coincidence, that in almost all of the areas which are famous for the longevity of the people who live there, fish is consumed regularly? Not at all! Fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, which are important for the health of your brain and nervous system. Eating fish twice a week may lower your risk of dementia. Due to the presence of Omega-3 fats, salmon and trout can reduce the \u201cbad\u201d cholesterol and triglycerides, helping you ease the inflammation that leads to atherosclerosis. You can cook fish in lots of different ways \u2013 roast it, make a fish soup, bake a fish pie \u2013 whatever you prefer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lean and toned up body isn\u2019t just a far-fetched fantasy.

They prolongate the feeling of satiation, promoting weight loss. Due to the high content of fiber, beans may boost your digestion and help reduce the risk of heart diseases, diabetes, and obesity. Add them to your soup, salad, or stew them in tomato paste. It\u2019s up to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yogurt\"><\/span><b>Yogurt<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yogurt is filled to the brim with probiotics, promoting good digestive health, and sustaining your intestinal microflora balance. It is also rich in calcium, which improves your bones, which tend to weaken as you age. A cup of yogurt is a great choice for breakfast or a snack. You can combine it with fruits, berries, nuts, or use it as a base for cereal or oatmeal.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nuts\"><\/span><b>Nuts<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another Omega-3-rich food \u2013 nuts. They are a good source of unsaturated fats, fiber, and protein, which promotes a healthy heart and brain. There is a great variety of nuts, such as almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, Brazil nuts, peanuts, pecans, and walnuts, so you can mix them up or consume separately. A 1-ounce serving per week will be enough. Add them to your oatmeal or cereal, sprinkle salads with them, or use as an ingredient in bakery.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Red Wine<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alcohol is not always bad for you.
