Dutch researchers have identified a meal that can help prevent disease - and it even tastes good. In a review of 44 studies, they found that men and women who ate six key foods daily cut their risk of heart disease by 76%. If they stuck with it, men could increase their life expectancy by six-and-a-half years, and women by about five, says researcher Oscar Franco, an epidemiologist at Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam. The ideal portions for the heart-healthy foods:
* 1/2 teaspoon freash garlic
* 2 cups fruits and vegetables (especially leafy greens and citrus fruits)
* 100 grams dark chocolate
* a glass of wine (red is rich in antioxidants)
* a handful of almonds (64 grams)
* 112 grams salmon, herring or another fish containing omega-3 fatty acids (2-4 times a week).
