Dr Arpit Bansal, a cancer specialist based in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, reveals in his November 19 Instagram post simple dietary tweaks that could add up to 10 years to your life and lower the risk of serious diseases.

“The secret to adding 10 years to your life isn’t in supplements, it’s in your kitchen,” says Dr Arpit Bansal. According to the expert, people who follow a diet rich in natural fats tend to live 10–13 years longer on average.

So, what should you be eating? Dr Bansal breaks it down:

1. Fermented foods

“Yoghurt, kanji, and kimchi help keep gut bacteria strong and maintain a healthy gut. A healthy gut is one of the biggest secrets to slow ageing,” he explains.

2. Colourful fruits

“Fruits like amla, berries, and other antioxidant-rich options reduce oxidative stress and protect DNA, which naturally slows down ageing,” says Dr Bansal.

3. Nuts and seeds

“Consuming a handful of nuts and seeds daily, such as walnuts and sunflower seeds, can reduce the risk of heart attacks by up to 25%,” he adds.

Dr Bansal emphasises that longevity isn’t just about living longer; it’s about improving the quality of life and energy levels. And it all starts with your plate. By making the right choices consistently, you can achieve extraordinary health benefits. “Longevity is a mindset, not just a number,” he concludes.
