We know that the way we eat, the products we use in cooking recipes, the daily physical activity, the stress level, why not the genetic factor, all these influence the determination of our life expectancy.

If you want to live, why not until 100 years old, doctors say that there are certain foods that you should give up and thus do yourself and your health a good service. "Food is information. If we give bad information to the body, we can certainly expect bad results in our health. That's why it's important to eat the right foods that affect the life expectancy of each of us," says Trent Orfanos, cardiologist in Illinois.

Here are the five foods that if you cannot avoid 100%, at least consume them in moderation.

#1 White pasta

White pasta is considered a refined carbohydrate. So, in other words, pasta has a lot of processed starch, which when introduced into the body turns into sugar and this promotes inflammation.

#2 Carbonated drinks

Regardless of whether you have a party, you are invited to a birthday party or you are out for a drink with friends, avoid fizzy drinks. Their sugar turns into a chronic disease over the years that affects the heart and other organs and affects your life expectancy.

#3 Ice cream

Sugary foods are a high risk for heart disease, dental problems and increased chances of cancer. So, be careful with the sugar in your diet.

#4 Pie

Purchased pies, but also those made at home with different oils, translate into fats that increase bad cholesterol and create inflammation in the body.

#5 Processed meat

Processed meat and sausages increase the chances of colon disease and the development of various cancers. So the less processed red meat in your diet, the better for your health and longevity.
