In my opinion, the key is to eat a traditional diet, and to avoid the western diet. Eat something that has been proven over centuries to be effective and healthy. Use veggies as the main course, meat as a flavour enhancer, and eat more oily fish.
Food Rules by Michael Pollan is a fantastic little manual with a "rule" on each page. Don't eat food with ingredients you wouldn't keep in your pantry. Don't eat food with ingredients your grandmother wouldn't recognize. Take as much time eating the food as it took to make it. Don't eat food that doesn't rot. Avoid food that has more than five ingredients (not counting recipes with natural ingredients). Don't eat cereals that change the colour of the milk, etc.
