You don't have to be Mediterranean, just eat like a Mediterranean. Lots of olive oil, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and fish, plus red wine in moderation. Low in saturated fats, high in antioxidants and flavonoids.
If you start off earlier in life on this diet, the benefits will be even greater later on in life. Even starting this diet (along with moderate exercise) now, and consistently sticking with it will make you look and feel a lot better.J. Allen said:
And these..."flavonoids"...they change my DNA to match that of a Mediterranean male of approximately 20-25 years?

The rate of heart disease is statistically (considerably) much lower in countries like Italy and Greece because of it.

The point is, it's only suspected that genetics may have anything to do with Mediterraneans' longevity, but it's known that nutrition plays a major role. Regardless of your genes, eating a diet low in red meats and saturated fats and high in whole grains, fruits, veggies, "good" fats such as olive oil and fish oil, and the like is good for your long-term health.

Marina Sirtis was in "The Wicked Lady" in 1983. Um, those who would like to see MORE of her would enjoy this movie greatly.

Or just do a Google Image search with the safeties off.
