suggests that a sustained change from a typical Western diet, started at age 20, would increase life expectancy by 10.7 years for women, and 13 years for men. Perhaps more stunning still, adopting the change at age 60 would increase life expectancy more than 8 years, and even changing at age 80 would add 3 to 4 years of life.
Globally, making poor dietary choices is estimated to cause 11 million deaths per year. The evidence has become overwhelming that diet makes a difference. Since 2017, there have been thousands of scientific articles written on nutritional topics like this. To better understand the impact of dietary choices on health, the authors of the PLOS article developed new methodology that allowed them to estimate how different diets affect a person’s age- and sex-specific life expectancy.
Other articles have looked at specific foods to see which have the most positive benefits. Most recently, “ , examined this nutrient-dense fruit containing fiber, potassium, magnesium, mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids. In a large study of U.S. men and women, higher intake of avocados was associated with a significantly lower risk of developing heart disease, especially when avocados replaced margarine, butter, cheese, and processed meats. Prior to this, the PREDIMED trial demonstrated the benefit of consuming nuts , and adding extra-virgin olive oil to a Mediterranean diet.
