Longevity foods: What to eat and drink for a longer life

What you eat does not only affect your weight and energy - but it also affects how long you will live.

This is because people do not die simply by age, but because of illnesses that come as a result of unhealthy lifestyles.

Therefore, it is important to listen to expert advice and to eat healthy.

Below you have a list of the things you should consume for a longer and healthier life:

Coffee

A new study has just revealed a link between coffee consumption and heart health, backing up earlier studies suggesting that coffee consumers are more likely to live longer.

Burning foods

Spicy foods not only burn your mouth but also extend your time in this life! A 2015 study by nearly 500,000 Chinese has found that eating burning foods once or twice a week is interconnected with a 10 percent reduction in premature death risk.

walnuts

This year's studies have found that those who eat nuts, almonds, peanuts, etc. are less likely to develop heart disease - meaning they are more likely to enjoy long and healthy lives.

salmon

Salmon is rich in mineral vitamins, and is associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease - consequently premature death.

blueberries

The special color of blueberries comes from an antioxidant called 'anthocyanin'. According to experts, antioxidants found in blueberries protect the body against cancer, heart disease, and brain illnesses such as Alzheimer's.
