It will come as no surprise to read that our diets have a marked effect on our long-term health and longevity. Increasingly, experts are sending out the message that calories aren’t created equal – it matters where they come from. A landmark study from the US National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases in 2019 fed two groups of participants ‘equally enjoyable’ diets that were matched for calories, sugar, fat, fibre and macronutrients. The only difference is that one group was fed ultra-processed food and the other unprocessed food. A growing body of research links ultra-processed food (UPFs, which now make up more than half of the average person’s daily calorie intake in the UK) to obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. One 2022 study from the University of Navarra found that UPFs cause the body to age faster and increase the risk of all-cause mortality. Researchers at the University of Michigan who created a Health Nutritional Index in 2021 found that every hot dog a person eats takes a shocking 36 minutes off their healthy life expectancy. Soft drinks (such as coca cola) shortened life by 12 minutes, bacon by six minutes and each double cheeseburger devoured shaved off just under nine minutes. The research also revealed that even a portion of cheese eaten can take over a minute off a healthy lifespan. But, before you ditch your weekend rashers, it’s not all bad news – the index also showed that it’s equally possible to add minutes to our healthy life expectancy by eating better foods. For instance, each banana was shown to add 13 and a half minutes to life, as was a portion of baked salmon. At this point, you may be wondering: of course, hot dogs shouldn’t be the mainstay of our diet, but surely having one occasionally can’t hurt? No, eating a single hot dog won’t necessarily shave 36 minutes off your life in real time, but almost all experts agree that the category they fall in – UPFs – spells seriously bad news for our health. So if you're looking to lead a healthier and slightly longer life, we've listed some foods to be wary of. Fear not, however, we've also found some equally delicious alternatives to swap into your diet.
