…WHILE EATING ONE HOT DOG TAKES AS MUCH 36 MINUTES OF HEALTHY LIFE, ACCORDING TO A NEW STUDY WHICH EVALUATED OVER 5,800 FOOD PRODUCTS AND RANKED THEM ACCORDING TO THE BURDEN OF DIET-DEPENDENT DISEASES AS WELL AS THEIR IMPACT WU FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.
FOODS WITH POSITIVE RESULTS ADD MINUTES TO HEALTHY LIFE – GOOD QUALITY AND AVERAGE EXPANSION OF DISEASE-FREE LIFE – WHILE THOSE WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT AND TAKE AWAY FROM HEALTHY MINUTES LIVED
TO ASSESS THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF FOOD, SCIENTISTS LOOKED AT FACTORS SUCH AS PRODUCTION, PROCESSING AND PREPARATION. THEY FOUND THAT BEEF HAS THE HIGHEST CARBON FOOTPRINT THROUGH THE ENTIRE PRODUCTION CHAIN
STUDY SHOWS THAT REPLACING 10% DAILY CALORIES FROM BEEF AND PROCESSED MEAT WITH FOODS INCLUDING WHOLE GRAINS, FRUITS, VEGETABLES, NUTS AND LEGUMS CAN ADD 48 MINUTES TO YOUR HEALTHY LIFE U DAILY AND REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT BY UP TO ONE THIRD
FOOD HAS ALSO BE DIVIDED INTO THREE GROUPS: GREEN, YELLOW AND RED. GREEN CONTAINS FOOD THAT IS NUTRITIONALLY BENEFICIAL AND HAS A LOW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: FRUITS, VEGETABLES, LEGUMS, WHOLE GRAINS AND NUTS. RED COVERS FOODS THAT NEGATIVELY AFFECT HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT, AND THEY ARE MAINLY PROCESSED MEAT, BEEF, SHRIMP, PORK AND LAMB.
