If you want to live a long time, throw them out of your refrigerator immediately!

“We do not live to eat, but eat to live.” And if we want to live a truly long life, then we should forever abandon some products that cost not only money, but also — literally — years of our only life. Never, ever eat these products from our list again — if you want to live a truly long life.

Sweet carbonated water

Regular consumption of sweet carbonated drinks seriously increases the risk of early death – such data were presented at last year's Congress of the American Heart Association. Yes, just one glass of cola a day doubles the risk of premature death from coronary heart disease. Moreover, daily consumption of sweet drinks accelerates the aging of cells and ultimately takes away 4.5 years of our life.

Artificial sweeteners

Nutritionists have not yet come to a consensus on whether it is worth completely abandoning sugar, but they are one hundred percent sure that products with added sweeteners are a definite evil. In addition to the fact that “sweetened” foods and drinks increase the risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease, they also enhance the negative effects of regular sugar. And another study confirmed a direct link between regular consumption of added sugar and an increased risk of stroke and dementia.

Salty foods

Most of us eat far more salt than our bodies need every day – and excess sodium increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and stomach cancer. In most cases, we get excess salt from processed foods and fast food – another reason to seriously reduce their consumption.
