Changing your meat-eating habits could mean a longer life, study suggests
Mounting evidence continues to suggest that eating too much red meat — such as bacon and hot dogs — is linked with health problems.
A new study finds that changes in your red-meat-eating habits can be tied to your risk of early death. An increase in red meat consumption of at least half a serving per day was linked with a 10% higher risk of early death in the study, published in the medical journal BMJ on Wednesday.
Replacing red meat with other protein sources may help you live longer, the study found.
