Mediterranean diet and longevity

The Mediterranean diet was ranked number one by US News and World Report. It has been linked with longevity, better heart health, a reduction in overall chronic inflammation, and is full of antioxidants. However, you know only God can determine whether we live or whether we have our health, but he gave us minds to decide how to take care of ourselves, and he expects us to do our part. One diet I think it's a good idea to avoid is the Atkins diet. Suppose you eat a bunch of animal fat. In that case, even if your cholesterol level stays down, that saturated fat is going somewhere very likely your arteries to increase your risk of heart disease and cancer. Of course, that's just my own personal opinion. I think the healthiest thing you can do for yourself is to do things God's way, and this is a good prayer about that:" Heavenly Father, I offer this day to you. I pray that my every thought, word, and action might give you glory and be in total conformity with your will. Thy will be done. Amen"This link is to the Mayo Clinic and goes into detail about the Mediterranean diet Take a peek
