BEIJING, Dec. 17 (Xinhuanet)-- A new scientific research has concluded that heart disease could be cut by 76% and men could expect to live more than six years longer if they simply ate in the right combination.

Daily consumption of the "Polymeal", containing fish, wine, dark chocolate, fruits and vegetables, garlic and almonds can dramatically increase life-expectancy and cut the risk of heart disease by up to 76 per cent, according to a research, published in the Christmas issue of the British Medical Journal.

The combined effects of these different types of foods produces a potent mix in the body which can produce remarkable health protection benefits in adults.

Men on the Polymeal would not only increase their life expectancy by 6.6 years but also live nine years longer without heart disease.

In women, the polymeal increase their life expectancy by 4.8 years and would be free of heart disease for eight years longer, researchers suggested.

The researchers, from the University Medical Centre Rotterdam in the Netherlands, looked at the literature about the beneficial effects of different food types.

For example, daily consumption of 150ml of wine reduces heart disease by 32 per cent, while fish eaten four times a week cuts heart disease by 14 per cent. A daily intake of 100g of dark chocolate and 400g of fruit and vegetables lower blood pressure, further cutting the risk of heart disease. Garlic and almonds both lower cholesterol levels.

Researchers noted that fish consumed in larger amounts than recommended as part of the Polymeal has been related to raised blood mercury concentrations.

Adverse effects reported for garlic include malodorous breath and body odour, so researchers do not recommend taking the Polymeal before a romantic rendezvous. Enditem
