Cutting down on foods like burgers and bacon could increase your lifespan, according to a new study.
Scientists who found a link between eating red meat and a higher risk of death believe cutting down on foods like burgers and bacon could lead to a longer life.
The authors concluded that short, medium and long-term changes in how much red, processed and unprocessed meat the participants ate was"directly associated" with the risk of death, regardless of their starting level. For the latest study, scientists wanted to look at whether eating more or less meat over eight years would affect health in the following eight years.
When researchers followed-up with participants after eight years, they found 14,019 people had died. Between 1986 to 1994, more participants ate less meat than added it to their diet. But the authors acknowledged several limitations to their study, including that the participants were health professional, so the results might not be applicable to others, and that they didn't know exactly what caused the changes in diet.
"It's better to minimize processed meats as much as possible. It's also important to choose healthy sources of protein such as fish, nuts, whole grains, and legumes.
