I’d imagine you could guess these, not much surprising.
> The five healthy habits were defined as not smoking; having a body mass index between 18.5 and 25; taking at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day, having no more than one 150ml glass of wine a day for women, or two for men; and having a diet rich in items such as fruit, vegetables and whole grains and low in red meat, saturated fats and sugar.
- cuchoi 9y agoDoes anybody knows what is "...rich in items such as fruit, vegetables and whole grains" and "...low in red meat, saturated fats and sugar"? This is way too vague for me and I couldn't find it in the paper.
- jackvalentine 9y agoDon’t eat processed food.
- godelmachine 9y agoIn today's day and age, its tough to escape sugar. Surely you would agree.
- jackvalentine 9y agoDon’t eat processed food.
- neolefty 9y agoDoes that mean they're comparing people who do all these things: > followed a healthy diet, controlled their weight, took regular exercise, drank in moderation and did not smoke ... > ... Compared with people who adopted none of them To people who smoke, drink too much, don't exercise, don't control their weight, and don't follow a healthy diet?
- mrfusion 9y agoI thought saturated fat wasn’t bad?
- tropo 9y agoRight, and I suspect the trouble is this: normal people often get their saturated fat from things like hot dogs cooked over a fire. If that sort of thing is the source (rather than coconuts and hard-boiled eggs), then it comes with harmful substances. The more saturated fat you eat, the more polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons you eat.
- mrfusion 9y agoSo bacon is out?
- tropo 9y agoNormal bacon is out. You can get bacon without nitrites/nitrates. Watch out for hidden nitrates/nitrites though, for example "celery juice". Celery picks up lots of nitrites/nitrates from the fertilizer it is given. Depending on what you like about bacon, you might prefer thin salted slices of pork, which might be called "bacon" or not depending on your supplier. You can cook bacon without burning it. I happen to think it tastes much better baked at low temperature, without browning it. The best choice is probably a pressure cooker, and steaming would be quite good too.
