Essential Diet for Healthy aging

This video will give you just a taste of the body of evidence i'll be covering in this video
check it out
Based on a study of more than 400 000
people replacing just 3 percent of
calories of animal protein with plant
protein was associated with a 10
reduction in overall mortality risk
that comes out to be about an extra year
of life
swapping out just 3 percent of any
animal protein with plant protein and
egg protein was the worst meaning egg
whites swapping three percent of
calories of egg whites for plant protein
was associated with more than a twenty
percent reduction in overall mortality
worse than red meat
but it's not just about adding years to
your life
but life to your years what about
changes in dietary intake of animal
versus vegetable protein and unhealthy
aging.
now of course it's not just diet we need
to get adequate sleep rest and physical
activity for example daily brisk walks
were associated with a 40 lower risk of
developing alzheimer's later in life and
smoking may double your risk of
developing dementia but in terms of
preventing alzheimer's with diet the key
takeaways are the following
reduce added sugars saturated fat animal
products and processed foods in general
while eating more plants especially
greens and beans fruit especially
berries and reduce added salt.
Take care
