If You Avoid These 10 Foods You Will Live Longer

TRANS-FATS

Sorry to disappoint those who love french fries, pastries, cookies, and anything super sweet, frosted, or fried, but most of these contain extremely high levels of trans fat. ‘Trans fats have been linked to inflammation, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other chronic conditions that shorten the duration of a lifespan,’ warns Sally Warren, PhD, traditional naturopath at Metro Integrative Pharmacy.

Studies have shown that a 2-percent increase in energy intake from trans fatty acids was associated with a 23 percent increase in the incidence of CHD that is a major risk factor for sudden cardiac death. Bottom line: Commit your fried and frosted delicacies to rare occasions only.
