Want Longevity? Eat your Carrots
Vegetarians have long claimed to have a healthier lifestyle then carnivores, but research does support the claim. The world’s oldest person at 122 was a vegetarian. The woman called Marie-Louise Meilleur had in fact smoked till the age of 95 and was still riding her bicycle at the age of 100. Some dieticians are putting her longevity down to her vegetarian diet. Many might say this shouldn’t therefore result in cheap life insurance for vegetarians – after all, Marie-Louise could have been unique, a one-off case. But evidence based on Word War Two experiences of Scandinavians whose diets were turned vegetarian during the war due to the unavailability of meat also shows that the death rate dropped during that period. It returned back to normal after the war and when meat was re-introduced.
