Living longer, healthier, and happier lives is a priority for many people. Oftentimes, we look to the food we eat as a way to optimize our well-being and extend our lifespans.
As fad diets and supplement trends come and go, one dietary recommendation that seems to remain constant is adding more plant-based foods into your daily meals. There has long been an association between animal-based products, especially of the processed variety, and increased health risks. Specifically, sourcing the majority of your protein intake from animal products can lead to a host of chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.
A new study from the University of Sydney adds to the chorus of plant-based praises. In the study, published in Nature Communications, plant-based protein is directly linked to a longer life in adults.
