Eating Less Meat And Dairy Could Add 10 Years To Your Life, New Study Says
Dropping meat, dairy, and sugary foods from your diet in favor of pulses, whole grains, fruit, and vegetables could increase life expectancy
Why would I want to save the last 10 shittiest years of my life?
Learned a new word today: Pulses. The edible part of legumes basically. Legumes can include non edible parts.
A quick look at the study seems to indicate the years added is more like 3 years, but it takes 10 years to kick in.

But no, no, it's the cheese that's the problem.

Eating more grain is the answer? The same grain that causes inflammation and is loaded with dense carbs?
Yes. Whole grains have repeatedly been shown to have health benefits. Though you should obviously still avoid eating more calories than your body needs.
or just eat less carbs and burn more calories because your acetatic acid metabolism works and be more active. then you can simply breath out the calories you dont need.

I'm a big proponent of enjoying life, rather than trying to extend it as much as possible. I ride a motorcycle in part because it's cheaper on a day-to-day basis, but also it's just more fun than being stuck in a car.
Why would i want to live longer if it meant that I had to give up cheese?
Yes, things that taste good are usually not good for you. But provided you maintain your physical condition otherwise, why insist on denying yourself all the enjoyment life has to offer?
Up voted not because I agree or disagree with your perspective, but because I understand and respect your perspective
I’m a big proponent of enjoying life
Me too, about everyone enjoying life, not just humans while others suffer in factory farms and die in gas chambers.
I have coconut cheese that tastes just as good. That’s a false notion that plant-based food always tastes worse as there are always good and bad options.
So says “plantbasednews.org”
You mean the study that was published in the journal PLOS Medicine.
You were so excited to troll that you couldn’t even get the website correct lmao
no it would not. I would be unhappy those 10 years even if it would.
I don't even eat meat or dairy and now i have to deal with this shit?
you're doing good according to article. deal with what?
Superman does good. They're doing well.
Somehow I almost stopped eating meat over the past couple years without even trying. I used to eat it a lot but I just started to crave it less and less and now I eat it like once a week maybe. I noticed limiting carbs has a good effect on me, so I don't eat a lot of them too. But I could not give up diary, it's like all of my favorite food.
Yeah but they're the last 10 of your life, which usually means that they're the shitty, diaper wearing, going senile, not allowed to drive anymore years. I'd rather die younger and at all at once, thanks.
That’s is a slippery slope argument as there is no guarantee that the last 10 years of someone’s life is how you describe it.
I was a vegetarian for environmental reasons, but now I have to start eating meat again? WTF!
