Avoid These Foods To Live Longer

Processed Deli Meats

From bologna to hot dogs, bacon to deli ham, processed meats have been the focus behind plenty of recent research. These 'meats' are often produced with a known carcinogen known as sodium nitrite. After reviewing hundreds of studies, researchers have concluded processed meats are carcinogenic to humans, increasing the risk of prostate, bowel, pancreatic, and other forms of cancer.

It has been reported that with every fifty-gram portion of processed meat eaten daily, individuals increase their risk of bowel cancer by eighteen percent. Although more research continues to progress, it's recommended to swap these meat items for fresher, more nutritionally dense choices. For example, freshly cooked chicken or roasted vegetables are perfect for sandwiches.
