Can a cheese burger cut life by 9 minutes and a cold drink by 12 minutes? Scientists tell the frightening truth!

Did you know that your favorite fast food can take away precious minutes of your life? Recently, researchers at the University of Michigan in the US have made this shocking disclosure in a study.

If you think your favorite fast food is uplifting your mood, wait a minute! A new research has revealed such a truth related to fast food and ultra-processed foods, which you will be surprised to know. Scientists have claimed that eating a cheeseburger can reduce your life by 9 minutes, while drinking cold drinks can reduce your life by 12 minutes.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, researchers from the University of Michigan analyzed about 5,800 foods and assessed their health costs. According to this research, any person who eats hot dogs can lose 36 minutes of their life. If cold drinks are also drunk with it, then the damage increases further. In addition, eating bacon can reduce 6 minutes, and processed meats like proscito can reduce 24 minutes. At the same time, egg sandwiches can reduce life by 13.6 minutes. The nitrites and nitrates found in these foods go into the body and convert into elements that can increase the risk of colon cancer.

What foods give you minutes of life?

This research was not limited to frightening news only. Scientists said that there are some foods that can increase your lifespan. Eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches gives 32 minutes of benefits. Eating nuts and seeds can increase lifespan by 24 minutes and fruits by 10 minutes. Moreover, fish and vegetables also help in increasing your lifespan.

Why is fast food reducing your lifespan?

Fast food and ultra-processed foods are high in sugar, unhealthy fats and preservatives. Things like cheeseburgers and cold drinks, especially red meat and processed meat, contain ingredients that can cause diseases like diabetes, heart disease and obesity.

What does the advice of the experts say?

The research team has suggested that plant-based proteins such as beans, peas and pulses should be consumed instead of red and processed meat. Adding 10% of calories from fruits and vegetables every day could add 48 minutes to your life. Dr Olivier Joliot, who led the research, said small changes could bring big benefits. We need to make changes in our diet so that not only our health is better but also has a positive impact on the environment.
