The journal Nature Medicine published a major study about a cohort of over 105,000 people followed for 30 years. This is that researchers found.
Correlation isn’t causation. But that’s still interesting.

Interesting to see beer that close to foods like fish, soy and tea
Conversely, it’s surprising to see fruit so high up, while fish and poultry are in the middle. Does this mean only vegetarian people eat healthy? Hardly believable for an omnivorous animal like humans.
Being an omnivore allows us to get calories from multiple sources, which allows us to live long enough to breed. That’s an evolutionary advantage.
After the point of breeding and raising children, evolution taps out.
So something being an evolutionary trait does not mean those traits lead to longevity. But it guarantees we’re good fuckers.
There’s debate on if humans are actually omnivores.
Very big caveat: while our primate cousins manage to eat some meat from time to time, it was our domestication of fire more than a million year ago that allowed us to access plenty of calories and nutrients from almost any food, everything was suddenly on the table, and was made easy to chew and digest. We are more omnivorous than the naturally omnivorous animals.
