Social connection is a health habit — the relationship between loneliness and mortality risk is equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes per day

Highlights

•
The most impactful health habit is plant diversity — eating 30+ different plants per week — because it addresses the root cause of most chronic disease: gut microbiome depletion
Spector ranks plant diversity as the single most important dietary habit: it feeds the broadest range of gut bacteria, provides the widest spectrum of polyphenols, and is the strongest dietary predictor of good health outcomes in ZOE's data.
