The Mediterranean diet has been shown to help cancer survivors live longer and maintain their heart health, according to a new study. Researchers from the Joint Research Platform Umberto Veronesi Foundation in Italy found that cancer patients who followed the diet had a reduced risk of heart-related death. The study used data from 800 Italian adult cancer patients over a span of 13 years. Patients had a 32% lower overall risk of premature death and a 60% lower risk of heart-related death. The Mediterranean diet includes foods such as fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts, legumes, olive oil, dairy, and lean proteins. Fish and seafood are recommended to be eaten twice a week. Dairy and lean meat should be eaten every day in small portions. Red meat and processed foods should be eaten minimally on the diet and sugary beverages should be cut out completely.
