6 foods without which health can be shaken (3 photos)

Scientists of the Research Institute of Population Health at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, held a major analysis, and took into account the results of five large independent studies from 70 countries. Despite the fact that in recent years red meat has been associated with cancer and heart disease, it was recognized as a healthy food.

Scientists have no doubt: high-fat dairy consumption protects against premature death





In an article published in the European Heart Journal, states that an optimal healthy diet includes three to four weekly servings of legumes, seven servings of nuts, two to three servings of fish, and 14 full-fat dairy products, including milk, yogurt, or cheese. You can also consume a serving of whole grains and meats daily. For example, a slice of bread, half a cup of boiled rice, barley or quinoa, and about 85 g of cooked red meat or poultry.

Red meat is healthy, but in moderation



Study lead author Dr Andrew Mente said: "Low-fat foods have captured the public's attention and food industry, and the labels on food products only say about reduction in fat and saturated fat. Our results show that the priority should be to increase the number of protective foods, such as nuts, which are often discarded due to calories, fish and dairy, not dairy restriction foods, especially fatty foods.



Scientific evidence confirms what has been said: dairy products, especially fatty, protect against high blood pressure and metabolic syndrome.

The study involved 250,000 people, each assigned a healthy eating score from zero to six, with a score of five and more the risk of mortality was lower. Age, gender, waist-to-hip ratio, education level, income, housing in urban or rural areas, physical activity, harmful habits, diabetes, use of statins or medicines for high blood pressure.

The average healthy eating score was 2.95. For 9 years observation, 15,707 deaths, 40,764 heart attacks and stroke. Those who scored five or more points for the most healthy diet, the chance of death was 30 percent lower. They are also at 19, 18 and 14 percent were less likely to suffer from stroke, cardiovascular diseases and heart attacks.
