Description
Natalia Toro-Funes and co-authors measure, in a study published in 2026, how much of three natural compounds Spaniards eat at each age. The compounds, called polyamines, help cells grow and stay stable, and diets rich in one of them may guard against heart and brain aging. As the body makes less with age, food intake matters more for older adults.
Using national food data, the team estimated intake for four age groups. Total intake rose with age and peaked in adults over sixty-five. Plants supplied most of two compounds, with vegetables, fruit, and grains on top, while meat supplied most of the third. A model Mediterranean diet scored slightly higher overall. The results give diet planners a baseline for a country known for that eating pattern.
