Are you aware of the fact that sticking to a diet enriched with fruits and vegetables, whole grain bread, nuts, olive oil and canola oil helps you to live longer? This is what a new study has found.

The findings that were published in the Journal of Internal Medicine, recommended that those who closely follow an anti-inflammatory diet have an 18 per cent lower risk of all-cause mortality.
