Mindsip insights from this episode:
Examine social factors behind fast food and healthy aging
A large study surprisingly linked fast and fried food consumption to healthy aging, which researchers speculate is due to social factors rather than the food itself.
Prioritize personal reactions over general dietary studies
While large studies show population trends, your personal negative reactions to certain foods should take priority over general dietary recommendations.
Differentiate plant-forward diets to assess unique health benefits
The studied diets were so similar in their plant-forward approach that it was difficult to truly compare the benefits of divergent eating patterns.
Emphasize plant-based foods for healthy aging
All diets associated with healthy aging emphasized plant-based foods like whole grains and vegetables, while de-emphasizing red meat, refined grains, and sugary drinks.
Avoid ultra-processed foods to promote healthy aging
Even after adjusting for many other lifestyle factors, ultra-processed foods were consistently linked to worse odds of healthy aging.
Achieve healthy aging by avoiding major diseases and maintaining function
Healthy aging was defined as surviving to age 72 while being free of 11 major diseases and maintaining intact cognitive, physical, and mental function.
Reevaluate coffee and tea consumption for cognitive health
Contrary to popular belief, this study found coffee and tea were linked to worse or neutral cognitive function, possibly due to consumption during unhealthy times like night shifts.
