More than half of U.S. adults are living with at least one chronic condition, such as diabetes, heart disease or obesity. So what can we actually control to help prevent these diseases as we age? And what should we be eating to stay healthier, longer?

On this episode of On Nutrition, cardiologist Dr. Stephen Kopecky breaks down 11 foods linked to longevity and shares practical strategies for healthy aging from his book, Live Younger Longer.
