She said: "It comes back to the constituents of the Mediterranean diet, and I think for individuals that's the easiest thing, to remember the Mediterranean diet. "So the processed foods, in particular, are really bad for our microbiome, and more and more we are discovering the important role of the microbiome in ageing."Prof Kenny answered: "Alcohol in moderation, okay, nobody can fault alcohol in moderation.""So every afternoon Sardinians will meet their friends and share and engage etc. with lots of laughter and two to three glasses of red wine… there's quite a good science behind red wine.
