In view of the declining life expectancy and the current lifestyle, it has become necessary to be serious about the food items. Do you know that the pizza sold at expensive prices in the market is reducing your age. According to a study, eating a slice of pizza can reduce the life of a person by about 7-8 minutes. Experts from the University of Michigan have calculated some food items on the basis of carbon footprints and nutrition. According to a report eating almonds can add 26 minutes more to your life account.
The report also states that eating peanut butter and jam sandwiches can increase a person’s lifespan by more than half an hour. At the same time, things like bacon and burgers including pizza are working to shorten human life. Experts say that eating pizza reduce about 10 minutes of a person’s life.
This study, published in the journal Nature Food, is based on healthy life expectancy. Scientists have calculated the direct effects of a variety of foods, snacks and drinks in about 6,000 cases. As per study, ‘it’s found that the average age of people consuming processed meat per gram in the US is decreasing by 0.45 minutes.’ In this sense, 61 grams of processed meat present in a hotdog sandwich can reduce a person’s life by 27 minutes. Whereas the excessive amount of sodium and trans fat present in it is a separate concern. Calculate the benefits of polyunsaturated fat and fiber present in it, even then hotdog reduces our life by 36 minutes in the final value.
University researchers said that this study will not only make people aware of a healthy life, but will also have a good effect on the environment. Researchers have given each food a traffic light rating, which tells whether we should eat less or more of a food. Salmon fish has scored green in this due to its excellent nutritional value. According to the report, salmon fish can add 16 minutes to a person’s life. The lead researcher of the study, Katrina Stylian, claimed that plant-based food has better performance. Plant based food and animal based food are very different from each other. Many experts say that plant-based protein is better than animal-based protein.
It has been claimed in many studies in the past that the elements found in processed meat are often difficult to identify. The ingredients present in it can be chemicals, color and sweeteners that harm the body. As per the University of Michigan states eating a banana increases a person’s life by 13 and a half minutes. At the same time, tomato increases life by more than three and a half minutes. Eating avocado also increases the life of 2 minutes 8 seconds. Drinking one soft drink reduces your life by 12 minutes 04 seconds.
