Joey Chesnut Decreased His Life Expectancy On Saturday while winning his 18th Nathan’s hot dog eating contest.
A study by the University of Michigan reveals that eating a hot dog can shorten a person’s “healthy life” by up to 36 minutes. A “healthy life” is defined as ‘the ability to live without sickness or disability’. The same study found that eating a serving of cashews can extend a ‘healthy life’ by 26 minutes.
Joey Chestnut ate 66 hot dogs at this year’s Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. Multiplying this total by 36 means Joey’s life expectancy was reduced by 2,376 minutes
Researchers found that substituting 10% of daily meats with a mixture of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and certain seafood items can extend a ‘healthy life’ by 48 minutes every day.
