    Sounds quaint and romantic, but wasn't human lifespan about 30 years then? I expect improving diets over that time have contributed to
    the now near 90 year expectation (with the very recent worsening of diets now contributing to declining life expectation)

    It appears to me that we should aim for the diet which gave us our maximum life expectation, which was I guess that about 20/30/40 years ago, not thousands of years ago.

    But surely the cheapest and most authentic method of going on your chosen diet is to forage and hunt your own food, and never buy any all.

    The 2 healthiest diets, in terms of life span, were the mediterranean and Okinawan diet. Not a lot of meat, when they did eat meat it was fish / white meat. No processed food, lot of vegetables. Mediterranean diet includes lot of monounsaturated fat, red wine.
    Think it was a metastudy done and published in British Medical Journal.
  • IIRC the inclusion of bones during the cooking process of meat, also had a noticable difference
