Food for thought and a longer life.



A new study says diet changes could add up to 13 years to your life



Changing what you eat could add up to 13 years to your life, according to a newly published study, especially if you start when you are young.



The study created a model of what might happen to a man or woman's longevity if they replaced a "typical Western diet" focused on red meat and processed foods with an "optimized diet" focused on eating less red and processed meat and more fruits and vegetables, legumes, whole grains and nuts.



If a woman began eating optimally at age 20, she could increase her lifespan by just over 10 years, according to the study published Tuesday in the journal PLOS Medicine. A man eating the healthier diet from age 20 could add 13 years to his life.



Focusing on a healthier diet could also lengthen the lives of older adults, the study said. By starting at age 60, a woman could still increase her lifespan by eight years. Men starting a healthier diet at age 60 might add nearly nine years to their lives.



A plant-based eating style could even benefit 80-year-olds, the study said: Men and women could gain about 3.5 years of extra life from dietary changes.



"The notion that improving diet quality would reduce the risk of chronic disease and premature death is long established, and it only stands to reason that less chronic disease and premature death means more life expectancy," said Dr. David Katz, a specialist in preventive and lifestyle medicine and nutrition, who was not involved in the study.



Katz, the president and founder of the nonprofit True Health Initiative, a global coalition of experts dedicated to evidence-based lifestyle medicine, has published research on how to use food as preventive medicine.



"What they define as an 'optimal' diet is not quite optimal; it's just a whole lot better than 'typical,'" Katz said, adding that he felt diet could be "further improved, conferring even greater benefits."



"My impression is that their 'much improved' diet still allowed for considerable doses of meat and dairy," Katz said, adding that when his team scores diet quality objectively, "these elements are at quite low levels in the top tier."

Ah, more promises of immortality...don't do this, eat that, avoid those and say your prayers at night.



So, just how does this revelation extend life? I assume it implies that such measures will increase the life span of your heart. No fat, better blood efficiency.



Why is nice.



But the rest of your body isn't so lucky. Joints become arthritic. Walking is painful. Your back becomes compressed. Your mental efficiencies diminish.



But your heart beats on, while the rest of you becomes a living nightmare that is extended by 8 or 10 years.



Roll the dice, live your life and take what comes. You're all going to die sooner or later.



Ignore this sanctimonious bullshit that presumes that living longer is living better. Don't become a burden on your family.

A healthy diet and weight would help that..

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is already turning up the heat on commodity prices like wheat and oil, with experts saying a prolonged conflict could have a significant impact on food price inflation in Canada.



Russian attacks forced Ukraine to shut down its commercial shipping port Thursday, affecting the country's major grain exports. Ukraine ships corn and barley to global buyers and also competes with Russia as a major wheat exporter in the continent.



Together, the two countries account for 29 per cent of global wheat production, according to Reuters.



Markets have already taken notice of the potential for Russia's unprecedented act of aggression to disrupt food supply chains.



Futures prices for wheat spiked as high as US$9.30 a bushel on Thursday, setting a nine-year record.



"Ukraine is Europe's breadbasket," says Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at the University of Dalhousie.



With oil prices meanwhile up over US$100 a barrel, Canada's grocery sector is about to get hit hard as costs rise on commodities and transportation, Charlebois tells Global News.

With the world in such a fragile state from COVID, this is a terrible time for an invasion.
