Professor Williamson of the Department of Food Science at the University of Leeds in the UK has made a list of 20 major foods for prolonging life, including chocolate, coffee and tea, which are important foods and drinks for longevity and maintaining a healthy life, Hong Kong's Oriental Daily reported. All the foods on the list contain natural ingredients of polyphenols and have a variety of health benefits, including the prevention of heart disease

Williamson points out that the foods on the list, mainly fruits and vegetables, can also slow the aging of the body by protecting cells that will be naturally damaged with age. There is growing evidence that diets are rich in polyphenols, such as tannins, lignins and flavonoids, which help improve people's chances of living to a genetic maximum.
