Eating More Plant Protein May Help You Live Longer
In a Japanese study, researchers concluded that eating more plant protein helps one to live longer compared to obtaining protein needs from meat. The study
followed 71,000 middle-aged persons for about 20 years. A comparison was made between those who eat the smallest amount of plant protein as those who consume the largest amount of plant protein. The study showed that the people who eat more plant protein are 13 percent less likely to die. Frank Hu, nutrition department head at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts, also said that meat protein is usually linked with chronic diseases and death and that plant protein comes with lower health risks. In the study, around 12,000 people have died due to various diseases. Hu was not part of the research conducted but was able to say that eating more plant protein food is really good for the health as it also contains other beneficial nutrients. Also, the study conducted has its limitations because the diets of participants were only considered once. This is not conclusive as these
people may have changed their diet over time.
