The goal of the study was to find what makes people live to age 90 and beyond and what types of food, activities or lifestyles were associated with living longer.

If you’re worried about all the chakhna you’ll be eating along with this, don’t you worry! Your beer belly is your friend. According to the study

“People who were overweight in their 70s lived longer than normal or underweight people did.”

In conclusion, this New Year’s, definitely not feeling guilty about that extra drink, all that pizza, or the coffee I’m about to have the morning after.
