The product that steals your chances of longevity has been named

One of the most common recommendations in research on healthy aging is reducing meat consumption, Buettner said. He noted that residents of the so-called blue zones, where record concentrations of centenarians are observed, do not give up meat entirely, but include it in their diet only once a week.

At the same time, becoming a vegetarian is not at all necessary to live a long life, the expert emphasized. The key is to focus on plant-based protein, which is found in abundance in lentils and chickpeas, for example.

In addition, Buettner included nuts, vegetables, and whole grains in his list of foods that promote longevity.
