What’s the Sirtfood diet that Adele is singing the praises of?

The diet's premise is that a group of proteins called sirtuins can be accelerated by eating specific foods rich in a class of phytonutrients called polyphenols.

The Sirtfood diet has been in the news again this week after singer Adele showed off her slimmed-down figure on US comedy show Saturday Night Live.

Adele has previously credited her significant weight loss to the Sirtfood diet. Following her appearance on SNL, there was a spike in people searching the diet on Google.
