A new study revealed from the University of Michigan tells how a single diet could shift and change someone’s health just by eating some food items that you didn’t know can make your life live longer or shorter.
The study is based on the Health Nutritional Index published in the Nature Food journal that calculates the net health burden of foods in minutes of a human’s life.
Researchers gathered and evaluated 5,800 food items in the American diet, ranking each item by its impact based on a person’s health and environment.
Through the Health Nutritional Index, the study has been supported and revealed that beef, processed meat, lamb, pork, cheese, and sugar-based drinks can take minutes of your life, while fruits, nuts, vegetables, and whole grains can add minutes of your life.
Along with this study, the University of Michigan researchers note that eating hot dogs could reduce 36 minutes of healthy life including soda could shorten your life by 12 minutes. Meanwhile, nuts can gain you 26 extra minutes of your diet, and eating peanut butter and jelly sandwich can also help your life increase by 33 minutes.
New research evaluated more than 5,800 foods and their impact on human health & the environment.
An astonishing finding? Eating a hot dog could cost you 36 minutes of healthy life, & eating a serving of nuts instead could help you gain 26 minutes.
