Eat Plants to Live Longer

Epidemiological studies consistently show that people who eat plant based diets

live longer (Maturitas. 2022 Nov:165:47-51).

Research has shown that compared to an unhealthy diet, a healthy diet—

especially more legumes, whole grains and nuts and less red and processed

meat—can increase life expectancy by more than a decade (PLoS Med. 2022;

19(2):e1003889).

Now, a new Canadian study has found that even just replacing half or your red or

processed meat with plant protein foods adds 8.7 months to your life (Nature

Food. 2024;5:148-57).
