NOTE

The Link Between Plant Protein and Longevity

Scientific research demonstrates that a higher intake of animal protein is associated with a shorter lifespan, while consuming more plant protein is linked to a longer lifespan, especially in older age. Plant foods like soybeans, hemp seeds, green vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, intact whole grains, and greens are rich in protein. As individuals age, it is crucial to focus on consuming these protein-rich plant foods and avoid excessive consumption of fruit or oil, which can dilute the protein content in the diet. Eating foods high in sugar and oil not only decreases plant protein intake but also leads to addiction to calorie-rich foods. Therefore, maintaining a diet rich in plant protein from various sources is vital for longevity and overall health.
