Chiropractor Oakdale MN | Mediterranean Diet Linked to Healthier Aging

A new study has found a relationship between the Mediterranean diet and longer telomeres in healthy, middle-aged women. Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences at the end of chromosomes that protect against the loss of genomic DNA; shorter telomeres have been associated with lower life expectancy and certain chronic diseases.
