How to add 10 years (or more!) to your life

How’d you like to live longer?

CNN reports that if you switch to a healthy, more plant-based diet you could add an extra ten years (or more!) to your life!

By “healthy,” they mean switching from a western diet with lots of red meat and processed food to an “optimized” diet that focuses more on fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains.

Woman who made that type of lifestyle change at age 20 could increase her lifespan by just over 10 years…and for men it’s 13 years!

The great news is that you can extend your life even if you’re not a “young ‘un”.

Women who do it at age 60 can still potentially improve their lifespan by eight years and nine years for me!

Even people in their 80s could extend their life by three-and-a-half years just by switching to a healthier, more plant-based diet.

Will you be making the switch?
