NEW STUDY: Food and drinks that associate with healthy aging, better memory & a longer, disease-free life & those that don’t. Surprising results… 🍷🍟 🧵
How to read the figures in this new paper: green means heathy, red means unhealthy. Column 1 is healthy aging, 2 is cognitive function and so on…
Healthy foods, not surprisingly: vegetables, fruits, unsaturated fats, nuts, legumes, omegas-3s and fish 🥦🍏🥗🥜🐟
Surprising: wine, fast food, fried food for better chances of brain health & longer life?! 🍷🍟
(Note, total alcohol is a negative…)
Unhealthy foods: trans fats, total meats, red meat, butter, margarine, snacks, sodium, processed meats, sweets and desserts, sugary juices, total alcohol, refined grains 🥩🍨🧃🧈
Surprising: potatoes & starchy vegetables, low energy drinks 🥔 🥤
This was a very large study - over 100K people in their early fifties followed for 30 years - in the end, only 23% of them were free of 11 chronic diseases! So eat well and believe the science 🙏
