Bad habits ruin a person’s health, and along with it, they take away years of life that could have been lived joyfully and interestingly.

Western researchers note that in addition to smoking and drinking alcohol and other illegal substances, completely innocent things also ruin lives.

There are five such habits in total, mostly related to food.

Here are the prohibitions that long-livers observe.

Carbohydrate consumption

Nutritionists primarily include light pasta among these. In fact, this food is starch, which turns into sugar in the body and causes various types of inflammation.

Sweet drinks

This is about soda and fruit juices, which contain a lot of sugar. Regular consumption of them provokes the development of chronic diseases.

Desserts

Due to the addition of sugar to this category of products, even ice cream was considered forbidden.

Nutritionists advise consuming it in moderation or even in limited quantities, since overindulgence in sweets causes heart disease and cancer.

Bakery

Not so much homemade as store-bought baked goods, which contain unhealthy trans fats.

Fast food

For the same reason, those wishing to celebrate their centenary are advised to give up fast food.

In addition to obesity and heart problems, these products also cause various types of cancer.
