Carnea, secretul unei vieți până la 100 de ani? Ce au descoperit cercetătorii despre vegetarieni

A study in China involving over 5,000 individuals aged 80 and above found that women consuming meat had higher chances of reaching 100 years compared to vegetarians, particularly among underweight participants. However, vegetarian women who included fish, dairy, or eggs had similar longevity prospects as meat-eaters. The research highlights the complex relationship between diet and longevity, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a healthy weight and adequate nutrient intake in older age. While the findings suggest potential benefits of meat consumption for certain demographics, they do not negate the health risks associated with red and processed meats. The study calls for further research to tailor dietary recommendations for the elderly.
