Red Wine + Olive Oil = Long Life

CBC News:

Red wine and olive oil may be some of the key ingredients for a long life, according to a new study. The findings provide more evidence the Mediterranean diet may be the secret to a long life. Scientists from Harvard Medical School tested the resveratol and quercetin molecules on yeast. They speculate since yeast and humans share many genes, the effect may be the same.

Resveratol is abundant in red wine and gives the beverage its anti-heart disease properties. Quercetin is the main molecule in olive oil. Researchers discovered Quercetin affected those genes that have been known to extend life by enabling cells to live longer. In the case of resveratrol, it was found to extend the life of some yeast cells by 70 per cent.
