Making This Food Swap Could Lengthen Your Life, New Study Suggests
There are lots of benefits to cutting back on meat in favor of eating more plant-based products. Doing so could protect your brain, help your skin, and boost your energy levels. Now, new research suggests that swapping out the calories you get from animal-based proteins for the same amount from plant-based proteins could help you live longer and lower your risk of dying from heart disease.
In the study, published in the journal Nutrients, researchers looked at data from a range of previous experiments, examining information from about 1.5 million adults about the protein sources in their diets and their health outcomes.
