Longevity and the Mediterranean diet

Telomeres (a name of Greek origin meaning “final part”) are the ends of chromosomes, akin to the plastic tips of shoelaces, whose main function is to protect the genetic material that carries the rest of the chromosome. As our cells divide in order to multiply and thus regenerate the tissues and organs in the body, telomeres shorten over time. This shortening is thus highly associated with the aging process and, consequently, with the time remaining before death. In other words, the shortening of telomeres has a direct relationship with longevity.
Studies have shown that people with mutations in the PPARG gene get an extra benefit from the Mediterranean diet that protects them against telomere shortening.
