With each new year, a new diet often follows. Dr. Frank B. Hu of Harvard suggests minor yet effective dietary modifications for boosting longevity.

Shift to Whole Foods:
Dr. Hu emphasizes whole, minimally processed plant foods. Diets like the Mediterranean and Okinawan, rich in whole foods, help lower chronic illness risks.
Avoid Processed Foods:
