Avoid These Foods To Live A Longer Life

Processed Deli Meats

From bologna to hot dogs, bacon to deli ham, these processed meats have been the focus behind plenty of recent research. These 'meats' are produced with a known carcinogenic, known as sodium nitrite. After reviewing hundreds of studies, researchers have concluded that 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 50-gram portion of processed meat you eat daily, you increase your risk of bowel cancer by 18 percent. Although more research continues to progress, it's recommended that you swap these meat items for fresher, more nutritionally dense choices. For example, freshly cooked chicken or roasted vegetables are perfect for sandwiches.
