To consume with moderation !
To stay healthy and ensure you live as long as possible, it seems essential to eat as healthily as possible and to avoid foods that are too fatty, too sweet, too salty or too industrialized. If we sometimes cannot bring ourselves to fall for these guilty pleasures, we sometimes do not suspect how much they can however wish us harm. While it seems difficult to completely eradicate them from our lives, it would be best to consume them with the greatest moderation. Some of them can indeed cause us to lose precious minutes of life expectancy, as suggested by a study conducted by the University of Michigan. This reveals that in reality, all the foods we eat have an impact on our life expectancy. There are those who will make it possible to lengthen it and those who, on the contrary, shorten it.
This American specialty can make us lose 36 minutes of life expectancy
Among the latter, there is in particular a relatively popular specialty of American gastronomy, which might make us lose up to 36 minutes of life expectancy. It’s none other than le hot-dog. This would be particularly bad for your health, especially because it contains processed meat that can be the cause of certain cancers. “We found that on average 0.45 minutes of life is lost per gram of processed meat a person eats. The 61 grams of processed meat in a sandwich results in the loss of 27 minutes of healthy life because of this amount of processed meat alone”, say the scientists behind this report. In the list of foods that rob us of several minutes of life, we also find the cheddar cheese (-1,4 minute), chicken wings (-3,3), the bacon (-6,4 minutes), Pizza (-7,8 minutes), the cheeseburgers (-8,8 minutes), and baking soda (-12.4 minutes). So many foods adored by many even if we suspect very well that they are far from being the healthiest.
What foods increase life expectancy?
As the site explains Mr Globalization, to establish this classification, the researchers have in fact evaluated the life cycle of food: whether it is regarding their production, their transformation, their manufacture, their preparation or their consumption. in the red zone, i.e. those which have negative impacts on health and the environment and others in the green zone, i.e. those which contain nutrients beneficial to human health and which have a low environmental impact. Among these we find mainly fruits, vegetables, legumes and some seafood. Thus, according to a study, a jam and peanut butter toast would save 33 minutes of life expectancy, when nuts give 25 minutes, cooked salmon and banana13 minutes, the tomato3.8 minutes and the lawyer, 2.8 minutes. If a person decides to change their diet to eat more vegetables than meat, they might gain up to 48 minutes of battery life and reduce its carbon footprint by almost a third.
