Adopting Mediterranean lifestyle may lower the risk of all-cause and cancer mortality

People who adhere to a Mediterranean lifestyle-;which includes a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains; healthy eating habits like limiting added salts and sugars; and habits promoting adequate rest, physical activity, and socialization-;have a lower risk of all-cause and cancer mortality, according to a new study led by La Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
