At 94, Queen Elizabeth is the longest reigning monarch of UK and here’s the secret to her longevity – Times of India

Queen Elizabeth II turned 94 on April 21. The queen has surpassed the average life expectancy for women in the United Kingdom by a decade. Not only is she UK's longest-reigning monarch but is also the oldest head of the states in the world. Queen Elizabeth is known to have a simple approach to food and nutrition. Here are some of her diet secrets that you can learn from:Portion controlQueen Elizabeth "eats to live" and doesn't "live to eat". She is very careful about portion control and sticks to small portion sizes. She prefers four light meals instead of three big meals a day. According to Unversity of Cambridge, having smaller portion sizes every day can help one cut their daily food consumption by 25 per cent. Thus, reducing portion size is one of the best ways to lose weight.Indulge in what you like and not everythingQueen Elizabeth loves chocolate cake. She eats a small piece of it every day. Studies show that treating yourself with what you like is an important part of a healthy and long-lasting diet. Depriving yourself of something you like, will only increase your cravings, which might make you end up eating much more. The Queen likes to have chocolate with 60 per cent or higher cocoa. She loves to eat dark chocolate. Dark chocolates are rich in flavonoids, which may protect one against heart disease and stroke. Eat seasonal foodsThe Queen eats a lot of strawberries during summer but doesn't eat them in winter. She absolutely sticks to eating seasonal. Out of season foods have to travel a lot of miles before hitting your shelves, which may compromise its nutritional value. Studies have found that tomatoes lose more than 50 per cent of their Vitamin C in eight days. Include more fishQueen Elizabeth loves to eat fish and often has salmon sandwiches with her tea in the noon and grilled fish for lunch/dinner. Fatty fish such as salmon have omega 3 and DHA, which lowers your risk of a heart attack. TeaQueen loves to have Earl Grey tea, which helps in lowering cholesterol due to the flavonoids in it. Other teas like black tea help in lowering the blood pressure, reduce one's risk of ovarian cancer and promote weight loss.
