Mediterranean diet the key to living longer

TomatoesThe latest scientific research from Ateronon, dubbed "the tomato pill", reveals that having a Mediterranean diet could be the key to living longer. The combination of fresh vegetables, fish and olve oil and grilled meats followed by fresh fruits is an excellent diet to follow. But scientists have at last unlocked the health-giving secret of the Mediterranean diet, which allows populations in Southern Europe to live up to ten years longer than their Northern counterparts.

After decades of research to establish which of the staple Mediterranean foods has the biggest effect, experiments have identified lycopene, a key nutrient in tomatoes and red fruits, as a principal source of this health benefit.

Ateronon’s latest research has shown that lycopene boosts the elasticity and efficiency of blood vessels, reducing the hardening of the arteries, which occurs with age and improves blood flow.

The research team from Cambridge University has found that taking Ateronon, a newly developed version of lycopene, improves absorption into the blood to levels way above those naturally achieved by a Mediterranean diet.

Mediterranean populations have always enjoyed a protective effect against heart disease from their diet, and dozens of researchers have already suggested tomatoes may be the source of this protection, though until now, an explanation of the mechanism involved has remained elusive.

As Ateronon is a naturally sourced food supplement, it has no known side effects when taken as directed and can be taken alongside prescription medication too, however, it’s always best to consult your GP or pharmacist before taking if you have any questions.

Ateronon is available to buy online and is priced at £29.99 for one box of 30 capsules. It is also available to buy in Boots stores and independent pharmacies across the UK.
