Eating Meat May Boost Longevity
A Chinese study reveals that elderly individuals who follow a meat-free diet have a lower chance of reaching one hundred years of age, especially when experiencing weight loss. In contrast, those who consume meat and maintain a healthy weight do not show such a decline in longevity. The study involved over five thousand people aged over 80, and the results indicated that relying solely on a vegetarian diet may pose challenges in meeting essential nutritional needs, particularly protein and vitamin B12, which can impact the preservation of muscle mass and bone density. The study emphasized the importance of including moderate amounts of animal products—such as meat, fish, and eggs—to help reduce the risks of malnutrition and support maintaining physical capacity with age, especially among older adults with low body weight.
